windows programmers forgot the most important thing... the real reason why people want multiple desktops! different shortcuts and icons!!!

[emmanuelseyssens]

Doesn't work... Whatever I do, the background I select applies to all desktops. :(

[gabipoliakov]

is there a way to make each desktop not affect the other ones? for instance i leave auto clicker on one desktop so i want the autoclicker not to work on second desktop

Is there a way to make the desktop choices from the task icon smaller? Right now I have 7 desktops however I would like to add 2 more. Once I add an 8th, I can no longer see them all when I click the task icon - I would like to see them all when I click on task icon.

Why is it when I want to open Chrome or any browser on the new desktop, it opens the one on the other deskstop?

I wish there was a setting that you can click on an app so it shows on every desktop. I use multiple monitors, one for work and one for personal. I would love to have Whatsapp web, outlook and teams show the same instance between desktops in the same spot. I know some apps you can open multiple versions of, which I do when I can. But still would be a nice feature they can to this amazing thing.

How do I open a new instance of an app in a desktop without being switch to another desktop where this app is already open?

Let's say I have an excel file opened in Desktop 1.
I move to Desktop 2 and want to open another excel file.
Windows switches me to Desktop 1 and opens my file there. 😒 Just.. why?

[MAYANKJOSHIIII]

DOESN'T WORK..BY THE TIME I SWITCH TO ANOTHER DESKTOP ALL THE TABS MOVES IN ONE DESKTOP

[LudusArtifex]

Unfortunately, on my work laptop I can't change background images for each desktop, only for everyone.
However, on the old Mini PC (not a laptop) it worked with Windows 11.

Could it be that the company blocked this? If so, then sadly that would be really stupid.

Does anyone have an idea?

This feature is not working on my windows I think theee is bugs

[Potato-_-]

me accidently doing this while in a game not knowing how to undo

[lesliepomicpic]

I don't think this works. I added a desktop so I can work on a different project. When I open chrome - using a different profile for that specific project - it opened in Desktop 1 instead of Desktop 2.
