Windows 10: Virtual Desktop Freezes Computer

I decided to give virtual desktops a try and I almost got excited until I ran into freezing issues. It happened twice today along the following lines:1. Open a second virtual desktop.2. Show Outlook and Teams windows on all desktops.3. I think this is most important. Open SQL Server Management Studio on the second desktop and do some work there, such as changing SQL views.At some point as I happily work in SSMS, Win 11 freezes and mouse and keyboard are irresponsive. The external displays are frozen. If I open the laptop cover the display is black. There is no way that I found to get back in

Virtual desktops

In the article you linked it says talks about 4 goals Microsoft has with virtual desktops:

• Give you more desktop space to group related windows
• Help you quickly locate and switch to any window or group of windows
• Let you easily re-organize your groups and move windows as tasks evolve
• Keep you in control of the degree of separation between your grouped windows

Not being able to control what desktop the program opens on really doesn't fit in with these goals.

Give me one good reason for why it is suppose force me to change virtual desktop when I open a program, just one good reason and I will consider to drop the issue. To me this sounds like virtual desktops isn't ready yet and you refuse to acknowledge that
there are bugs, because this makes it very hard to work with multiply virtual desktops.
