STACKED and SIDE BY SIDE windows won't work

Hi Valeria,

By default, the "Show windows stacked" and "Show windows side by side" option in Windows 10 will automatically adjust the open app or document windows that you have open and will also put a space in between the windows. To resolve your concern, kindly
answer the questions below:

• What exactly happened when you attempted to use the "Show windows stacked" and "Show windows side by side" options?
• Does the same thing happen with all types of windows of different applications?
• Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your device?

Also, kindly provide us a screenshot of the issue by following the steps on this

link.

We look forward to your response with the requested details.

 

Bug: "Cascade windows", "Show windows stacked" and "Show windows side by side" using multiple virtual desktops

Try the following:

• Open a few windows
• Create a new desktop (Ctrl + Win + D)
• Open a few windows there too
• Right click the taskbar, choose "Show windows stacked" (or any of the other options mentioned in the title)

Expected behaviour:

• The visible windows are stacked

Actual behaviour:

• All windows are stacked,
  
  not just the visible ones on the current desktop, but the ones on the other desktop as well
  
  what's more: the windows on the other desktop are taken into account while stacking, leaving gaps on the current desktop where windows are on the other one.

I think anyone with Windows 10 should be able to reproduce this. If not, I could supply some images.
