Windows 10: Opening the same application on a different desktop opens it on the desktop it was first...

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

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.

 

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

 

Issue with multiple desktops (task view?) and opening applications


Say I have a desktop 1 with MS Word open. If I then open another desktop (desktop 2), and then open a word file from my hard drive on desktop 2, windows 10 will take me out of desktop 2, put be back on desktop 1, and then open the file I requested. I then have to open the desktop switcher, and manually drag the word document from desktop 1 to desktop 2.

Effectively, if I have a window of one application open in one desktop, and I then open the same application in a different desktop, windows will move me back to the original desktop and open the application there.

This is extremely annoying and occurs with all applications, is there any way to fix it?

Thanks in advanced for the help!
