  2. Is it possible to pin different apps on a taskbar on different virtual desktops in Windows 10?

    Hi,



    You can personalize the desktop of two computers by pinning the apps, documents and other programs to the taskbar.



    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

    • Are you referring to dual screen desktop feature of the computer?
    • Do you want to personalize two different PC taskbars?


    You can differ personalizing taskbar applications on different computers. You can either pin the same or differ the applications, programs or games on the computer taskbar according to the necessity.



    To pin the apps to taskbar, follow the steps below:



    • Click on Windows logo key on the keyboard to open
      Start menu
      .
    • Right click on the app and select Pin to taskbar option from the context menu.
    • Close the window and check if the app is pinned to taskbar.


    Refer to Get Started with Windows 10 Love it? Pin it and check if it helps.



    Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of pinning apps to taskbar on two desktops in the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

  3. Enable different active Taskbar buttons per Virtual Desktop

    When I switch from one virtual desktop to another, the active Taskbar Buttons from a different Virtual Desktop are still present. Is there a way that only the active Taskbar Buttons of the active (currently displayed) Virtual Desktop will be visible on
    the Taskbar?

    App not on desktop, but open in taskbar

    This may be a 'feature', but I have no idea why or what it would be.

    I've experienced this problem with a few different apps. When moving the app, if the mouse shakes a bit (like what used to clear the desktop in windows 7) a small red pin is displayed on the top right the app window, and if I release the mouse button, the
    app disappears completely.

    The rest of the apps on the desktop are still visible. The app is still running in the task bar and hovering over the app in the taskbar shows the different windows of the app I am trying to get back to. The app is running, but nowhere to be seen.

    I thought maybe it was one of those situations where the app was just 'off the desktop' on some random screen that does't exist anymore, so I used 'alt-space' to bring up the app menu and move the window. I can move the window, but it still never shows up.

    When I hover over the app in the taskbar and then hover over the little window pop-up in the taskbar, the window I'm trying to get to is shown on the desktop, and here is the HINT: it does not have any chrome on it. When I leave the hovered taskbar pop-up
    the window I'm trying to get to disappears again.

    If this was a one time thing, I would chalk it up to some strange bug, but I hit this about once week! The only solution is to reboot the machine and then everthing comes back to normal.

    Along with knowing how to get my apps back, I'd be curious as to what the benefit of this 'feature' is?
