    How to open the same application on a different desktop?


    So far the only answer by Microsoft to this recurring question which has popped up over the years in many different posts is to simply lock those posts to conveniently sweep the issue under the rug, allow you to vote on the question to conveniently sweep the issue under the rug and otherwise ask you to post it on the Feedback Hub as something you'd like to see resolved beyond just voting on agreeing it's a problematic issue on the many times it's been posted as yet another way of just sweeping the issue under the rug. Maybe all the people employed to sweep such problems under the rug would los

    Open With opens with different application then the one selected

    Can someone please provide the steps to fix this? This is maddening!

    I just upgraded to Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 and now it doesn't even show up in the list of Open With applications.

    I don't want Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 to be the default application to open image files as I use numerous different applications to work on my images. I just want it to be an option in the Open With list.

    How do I get Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 to show up in the list of Open With applications and how do I confirm that when I select it to open a file it actually opens instead of some different application.

    Thanks

  3. Opening the same application on a different desktop opens it on the desktop it was first used on. Microsoft, *please* let us use the same applications on different desktops.

    So here is the thing: the entire point about using multiple desktops is that we get to separate our windows into different "activities". One Ubuntu, for example, I use a desktop for work and another for personal things so that I don't have to deal with all
    of them when I'm working.

    On windows this is a hassle.

    Here are the steps to reproduce the issue I'm facing:

    • Open Google Chrome on a desktop.
    • Make a new desktop (Win + Ctrl + D, or go to task view and click "New Desktop")
    • Open Google Chrome again in the new desktop.
    Now, you would want Windows to open a new Google Chrome window on the new desktop -- because of course, we could use Chrome for several things and we'd want to separate the stuff related to work from other things such as watching a random music video. This
    should be simple, right? Not with Windows.

    Instead of creating a new application window in the new desktop, Windows takes me back to the
    original desktop where the application was first opened.


    It's just very annoying to see how Windows missed a very simple thing.
    No one
    -- and I repeat, no-one uses multiple desktops to separate applications. We use multiple desktops to separate use-cases! This problem has been here for years and several others have pointed it out -- but it's 2018 and there's
    still no fix yet.
