Windows 10: Move applications to virtual desktops.

Hi,

I was so happy to see virtual desktops on Windows. However, there's one thing I can't figure out: How do I move and application from one desktop to another, and how can I make sure an application always opens on the same virtual desktop? This was easy on Linux, but maybe it's not gotten that advanced on Windows yet?

Move Applications Between Virtual Desktops

Thank you for the reply Nyima Yonten. My concern is not about switching between application windows, but moving them between multiple desktops. By the way, I am assuming that you meant Windows Key + Tab Key in the first step of your suggestion.

 

In Windows 10, apps open in currently active desktop. You cannot make an app to open on another desktop. To move an app to another desktop after it has been opened, click / tap the Task View button, right the app you want to move and select to which desktop you want to move it:
