Thanks to powerful processors, multitasking on the computer is absolutely no longer a problem for modern machines. So you can never have enough space on the desktop. Managing virtual desktops is a helpful solution. With Windows 10, it's easier than ever.
What are virtual desktops?
A virtual desktop uses software to simulate two, three, or even more desktops on your screen . Every virtual desktop behaves like a completely normal surface on which windows can be distributed as desired. When you create a new virtual desktop, you simply get a completely new blank space to distribute your applications. As a rule, only one current desktop is displayed at a time. So if you find yourself running out of space on your desktop, just create a new one. Often you can switch from one desktop to another with a keyboard shortcut . Virtual desktops are a real blessing, especially for power users, as multitasking is made much easier. The idea of virtual desktops isn't all that new. For a long time it has also been possible to install programs under Windows that enable this feature. But since Windows 10 this function has already been integrated into the operating system and no additional software has to be installed . For autumn 2021 , Microsoft is even working on bringing out additional functions for virtual desktops, such as interchangeable backgrounds.
