  1. Windows open in different virtual desktops dissapearing and reappearing in single desktop


    Hi,I am using:ThinkBook 16p G2 ACHwith:OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 ProVersion 10.0.22631 Build 22631I am:1. Open several virtual desktops.2. Use WSL2 to open linux GUIs and place them in each desktop.3. Use some key combination/action that I haven't identified yet.I see:1. The GUIs all dissapear.2. I open a new GUI from the WSL terminal.3. All the GUIs reappear in the desktop that I currently use.This is problematic because I have my work organized in several desktops and now I am having to spend time reorganizing them whenever some random that again, I haven't identified yet action closes

  2. Different taskbar for different virtual desktops.

    I have a issue with virtual desktops in Windows 10. When I use virtual desktops, there is a single taskbar that is shared between all of them, for eg : say I have Task Manager open on "virtual desktop 1" and Windows explorer on "virtual desktop 2" and I
    am currently on "virtual desktop 1", then in taskbar I see both Explorer and Manager open whereas on "virtual desktop 1" I can only use Task Manager.

    The problem with this is that when I have multiple programs and many different Chrome windows open on different virtual desktops, the taskbar gets cluttered and almost defeats the purpose of multiple desktops.

    So what I want is different "local" taskbar for each virtual desktop - like if I have Task Manager on virtual desktop 1, then I should only be able to see that in my taskbar when I am using that desktop. Is this possible ?

    Sorry for my bad English Windows open in different virtual desktops dissapearing and reappearing in single desktop :)).

    Windows open in different virtual desktops dissapearing and reappearing in single desktop

    Office Documents open on wrong virtual desktop in Windows 10

    Scenario:

    • I have 2 virtual desktops open in Windows 10... Desktop-1 and Desktop-2
    • Excel document is currently open on Desktop-2
    • Switch back to Desktop-1, and open another Excel document, by double clicking on the document shortcut
    • Document opens in Desktop-2

    Why? The document should open on the desktop where I opened it? This makes for too much switching back and forth. I'd rather just clutter up a single desktop instead of jumping around all the time. Can I override this counter-intuitive behavior somehow?
    Am I missing the point of what virtual desktops are supposed to achieve? Maybe I should just be using dual monitors instead.
