    It's really annoying because I like to have 1 virtual desktop open for Zoom and 1 open for Google docs and slides and whatever study material I need. Then when the teacher enters breakout rooms zoom closes then re-opens, and if I'm in the desktop for study material then the breakout rooms will open in that virtual desktop. This also applies for games with launchers like Minecraft: if I start up the game via launcher on virtual desktop 1 then switch to virtual desktop 2 it opens in virtual desktop 2. How do I stop this from happening or is there no way to do so? Thanks

    :)

  2. Problem pinning apps to the start menu


    Not sure if this will help.

    To add an item to the Start list, simply drag it into the Start list area. You can do this from within the Start menu of course, but you can also drag an item from the desktop or a File Explorer window: Just drag it onto the Start button first, and after the Start menu has opened you can drag it from there into the Start list.

    What can you add to the Start list? Virtually anything. Documents and other files. Any folder. Desktop application, Modern app, or web app shortcuts.

    You can also reorder the items in the Start list using drag-and-drop.
