Although Windows also had a virtual desktop feature in the past, in the new features of Windows 11 the “virtual desktop” has become more personalized.
In the past, virtual desktops in Windows systems have always been considered somewhat useless, meaning that they are not unusable, but they are not so easy to use as to justify an excessive investment by users. In Windows 11, the virtual desktop feature not only inherits the Windows 10 era feature, allowing you to move a single window across desktops, but also provides the ability to separate icons, rename and edit the desktop, making each desktop more distinguishable . and create a diverse workspace.
What is a Windows Virtual Desktop?
Windows 10 has a feature called Virtual Desktop that lets you tidy up your desktop workspace and organize all your different apps and windows in a concise way.
If you want to know what a virtual desktop is, the fastest way is to activate this feature directly: you can use the cursor to click the “Work View” icon on the taskbar, or press the “Windows” + “tab” keys on the keyboard. Enable “Work View” mode.

Advantages of virtual desktops
- When you have too many applications open at the same time, there are too many windows and it is inconvenient to switch between applications. You can use this method to switch quickly.
- Plus, if someone suddenly approaches your computer and you don’t want them to see what you’re doing, you can quickly hide it.
- It lets you focus on one task at a time without being distracted by other windows.
How to set up a virtual desktop and give it a name?
Windows 11’s virtual desktop feature has a standalone icon: move your mouse over the black and white square in the taskbar and click to add a virtual desktop.
Each virtual desktop can be renamed: just move your mouse over the virtual desktop name and click to enter text.
How to set different wallpapers for different virtual desktops
If you right-click a virtual desktop preview, you can specify a different background (image only) for each desktop to create a more differentiated style.
It has also become easier to manage the programs open on each virtual desktop: for example, to close a window simply click the “X” in the top right corner.
Move programs from one virtual desktop to another
Users can also freely move programs to other virtual desktops and even access a single window across multiple virtual desktops, so that the workspace is separate but not completely broken.
