What is Virtual Desktop on Windows 11?
Virtual Desktop is a feature on Windows 11 that lets you create multiple desktops on your PC. Each desktop can have its own set of windows, apps, and wallpapers. You can switch between them easily with a keyboard shortcut or a swipe gesture. This way, you can organize your tasks and activities into different spaces and focus on one thing at a time.
For example, you can have one desktop for work, where you have your documents, spreadsheets, and presentations open. You can have another desktop for entertainment, where you have your games, videos, and social media apps open. You can have another desktop for personal stuff, where you have your photos, messages, and calendar open. And so on.
