Windows 10/11 provides a feature called Virtual Desktops. Virtual Desktops on Windows function similar to tab groups in browsers— they act as separate workspaces to compartmentalize different tasks.

Using Virtual Desktops in Windows 10/11

  1. Click or hover on the Task View icon in your task bar
    • If the icon isn’t present, right-click an empty space of the task bar and select Taskbar Settings
    • Toggle the Task view switch to On
  2. Select New desktop
  3. To switch between desktops, hover on the Task View icon or hold Ctrl + Windows Key, then press the left or right arrow key.
  4. To close desktops, hover or click on the Task View icon, then click on the X in the corner of the desktop tile you want to delete.

Virtual desktops are another way to keep your digital workspace organized and on-topic.
