    Virtual Desktops - Automatically cycle


    I have three virtual desktops on a windows 10 machine that I want to cycle through automatically, every X minutes, to create a slideshow effect of each desktop. Is there a way to achieve this?

  2. win 10 starts normally then after minutes begins to cycle the desktop

    Completed all steps. Checker tool found no problems. The DNS flush was completed.

    Machine still cycles the desktop and doesn't allow any programs to run.

    Since it does not cycle in safe mode, that suggests some background program is the problem. What program would cause a repeated resetting of the desktop?

    Suggestions?

    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.

    Why it's automatically move between Virtual desktops ?

    Thanks for the follow up. To further resolve the issue, we suggest that you create another local or administrator account to check if this concern is related to an account issue. To do this, follow the steps
    here. Once you have created a new local or administrator account, check if you'll
    experience the same behavior in the virtual desktops.

    Let us know if the recommended solution works for you.
