How Do I Create a Virtual Desktop in Windows 11?

You can create a virtual desktop in Windows 11 by using the Task View feature.

Here's how:

1. Open Task View: Click the Task View icon on the taskbar, which resembles a rectangle with four squares.
2. Create a New Desktop: Click the + button in the top right corner of the Task View screen.
3. Switch Between Desktops: Use the Task View icon or the Alt + Tab keyboard shortcut to switch between different virtual desktops.

Practical Insights:

• You can easily drag and drop open windows between virtual desktops.
• Each virtual desktop can have its own set of open apps, making it easier to organize your workflow.
• Use virtual desktops to separate work from personal projects, or to group similar tasks together.

Example:

Imagine you're working on a presentation while also researching for a report. You can create two virtual desktops: one for the presentation and one for research. This helps you stay focused and organized.
