Windows 10: Keep virtual desktop apps from launching windows in other desktops?

In Windows 7's virtual desktops Desktops v2.0, SysInternals when an application running in a virtual desktop launched new applications such as a console app launching a web browser, they would open in that specific virtual desktop and stay away from my "original" desktop.

In Windows 10's virtual desktops, however, new applications opened by an application in a virtual desktop tend to pop up on the active desktop, which defeats the whole purpose of using a virtual desktop for me.

Is there any way to return this behavior to what it was in Windows 7 and force applications to keep anything they launch in their own virtual desktop?

Windows Virtual Desktop

Yes, we are using Windows Virtual Desktop. I have a small business and for business, I do require a virtual desktop. It's quite cutting-edge and new technology, and we are excited about it. I started using a virtual desktop a since it launched. Though
its still very early days, we are seeing some positive prospects.

The best part is, All my data is stored in the cloud so I don't have to worry about the data constantly. I can access it remotely. It's quite safe and secure. It's very simple to integrate your Windows
virtual desktop on azure. on Azure platform. Your infrastructure needs the following things to support Windows Virtual Desktop:

• An Azure Active Directory
• A Windows Server Active Directory in sync with Azure Active Directory
• An Azure subscription, containing a virtual network that either contains or is connected to the Windows Server Active Directory.
  

My best advice is to get it from a vendor who has Microsoft-level expertise.



Hope this helps you!

Virtual desktops

In the article you linked it says talks about 4 goals Microsoft has with virtual desktops:

• Give you more desktop space to group related windows
• Help you quickly locate and switch to any window or group of windows
• Let you easily re-organize your groups and move windows as tasks evolve
• Keep you in control of the degree of separation between your grouped windows

Not being able to control what desktop the program opens on really doesn't fit in with these goals.

Give me one good reason for why it is suppose force me to change virtual desktop when I open a program, just one good reason and I will consider to drop the issue. To me this sounds like virtual desktops isn't ready yet and you refuse to acknowledge that
there are bugs, because this makes it very hard to work with multiply virtual desktops.

 

Option for launching apps in a new Virtual Desktop

Hi, is there an option or toggle somewhere to open apps in a new virtual desktop?

Followup, is it possible to set the start position for the command line window on a specific screen or a specific virtual desktop?
