Windows 10: Windows 10 switches desktop when i close an app

So i have desktop number 2 assigned for my work needs, and so many times after i close an application in desktop 1 (and it is the only visible application on desktop 1, the rest may be minimized for example) it switches automatically to desktop 2 where i have other applications open. This is driving me INSANE. I have googled this issue many times during the last few months thinking i'll eventually find a solution. But i never do! I can't be the only one having this problem?

Does anyone know how to disable this "feature"?

Desktop is default on start-up and app closing

Hi Ed,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

The Windows button is located at bottom left corner of the desktop page.

Please be informed that if you open/close any app, you may have to switch back to the start screen and desktop to access the apps. This is as per the Windows 10 Operating system design.



If you have any suggestions about Windows 10, I suggest you to post your feedback in Windows 10 Feedback app.

I hope the above information helps.

Thank you.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
