Windows 10 has several functionalities designed to optimize the end user experience to the maximum and therefore offers us in the taskbar a new option called “Task view†which is located right next to the Cortana icon and thanks to this task view it will be possible to create and manage virtual desktops in which we can manage applications and open windows if we wish, that is, we can have all office applications on one desktop and other audio players and other desktops, this helps significantly to order at work..
Our Desk is like the panel where we organize all the elements we need daily in our computer tasks. Within it we can find different shortcuts and icons to quickly access the applications and programs we use most. In addition to this we can customize it by changing our wallpaper or even the interface colors. Because we usually perform different tasks, the use of different virtual desks makes it easy for us to have different styles according to our needs.
