virtual desktop as multiple monitor

Hello Dan,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Virtual desktops lets you create multiple, separate desktops that each can display different open windows and apps. Multiple desktops are great for quickly switching desktops. The idea of having multiple virtual desktops is being able to order programs
according to a set of tasks.

PC can’t have different virtual desktop on each monitor. However, we can
configure the taskbar for multiple displays to send windows from one monitor to another. We can customize Windows to have a taskbar shown on only one display, and a different taskbar on the other display. To do that, follow the below mentioned
steps.

• Right click on the taskbar and select
  Taskbar Settings.
  
• Scroll down to Multiple displays section and choose
  Taskbar where window is open under Show taskbar buttons on option.
  

By choosing that particular option in Settings, you can set its independent taskbar in addition to your primary display. Only the open windows are shown on the taskbar in that particular display.

As a workaround, we can create a new profile to switch your main display to another. By doing that, you can switch between profiles which will be having different displays in it.
To do that, follow the below mentioned steps.

• Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Graphics properties > Select
  Display > make changes to change your main displays > click on
  Save profile > assign a name to it.
  
• You can create multiple profiles to make different monitors as main displays each time.
  
• To apply the profile, right click anywhere on the
  desktop and select Graphics Options > Profiles > in there you can select the new account which you have created to switch the display.
  

Hope it helps.

Windows 11 Multiple Desktop is extremely disappointing, it is not multiple but same desktop EVERY time?!!

Dear Francis Arthur

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are experiencing inconvenience when using Windows 11 Multiple Desktops.



The Windows 11 Multiple Desktops feature makes it easy to open different windows in different desktops, and multiple desktops are great for keeping unrelated ongoing projects organised, or for quickly switching desktops before a meeting.



However, the feature only allows different desktops to open windows that are relatively independent of each other, and files and folders on the desktop are fully synchronised between the different desktops.



This is a problem that Windows was designed to have. I can understand your need to create a new desktop that is completely blank, and I have taken this issue through internal channels for feedback. I also recommend that you provide feedback.

Microsoft attaches great importance to user experience, you can submit your ideas and suggestions through the Feedback Hub, and the development team will regularly review submissions for ideas or fixes.

Please share the feedback link here after submitting as it will allow others on the forum to vote for your submission, including me. More votes will lead to more visibility and higher priority to the development team.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
