    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?

  3. How to open app on another virtual desktop?

    Hi Radim,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



    This issue might occur if virtual desktop or task view option is not enabled.



    I suggest you to follow the steps below to enable virtual desktop on the computer.

    The virtual desktops feature in Windows 10 is known as “Task View” and is located on the Taskbar. Clicking the “Task View” button brings up the Task View interface, where you can see your open windows on virtual desktops which you have added.

    To enable task view option on the taskbar.



    1. Right click on Taskbar.

    2. Click on Show task view button.

    3. Then it will be available on the task bar next to the Search bar.

    Please get back to us with an update on issue with using virtual desktop, we will be happy to help.



    Thank you.

    Option for launching apps in a new Virtual Desktop

    Virtual Desktops showing apps not in certain desktops


    Hi, I have a problem with W10 virtual desktops.

    I'll explain it step by step :

    Go to virtual desktop 1
    Open full windowed Chrome
    Go to virtual desktop 2
    Open two different full windowed excels
    Hit windows-tab

    And you end up in this mess i'm attaching as a screenshot.

    If you click on destktop 3 icon, you'll be there, but excel will be shown, full windowed, as if you were on desktop 2.
    If you then minimize it, it goes to the desktop 2 taskbar.


    If you click on desktop 1 icon, you'll get there, but excels will be shown instead of Chrome. If you put the mouse over desktop 1 icon and then click Chrome above virtual desktops, you'll get to desktop 1 with Chrome being shown as normal.

    If you close one of the two excels, virtual desktops works again as expected.

    What can I test to solve this mess?

    Thanx a lot, I've been expecting a fix in every new compilation, with no luck.

    César
