Hi all,

there is a handy feature in Windows 10/11 that allows better management of your workspace. I know how frustrating it can be sometimes to lose track of how many windows you have opened when you are multi-tasking and not all the windows are related to those tasks so you have to keep scrolling through until you find it.

Multiple virtual desktops let you open a clean desktop where you can open different windows to keep them separate. For example, you could have Outlook on a separate desktop while leaving Office Word running in another virtual desktop. Alt-Tab in one desktop will only cycle through the windows of that desktop. You get the idea...

To cycle to another desktop use Ctrl + Win Key + right arrow (or left to move to precious desktop). Once on the new desktop, work as normal. Switching the desktop won't close whatever you have open in it.

By default, you have 2 virtual desktops available but use Ctrl + Win Key + D to create a new one. Use Ctrl + Win Key + F4 to close it.

All the best,

Adrian
