Why would you even need more than one desktop?- I don't use them, either, but it's just another organization option. As Mike McGlashon has mentioned, many people use a separate virtual desktop to create a "cyber world" related to a specific sphere they want one for, and generally where multiple programs are actively involved in each sphere. It's sort of like "browser windows and tabs on steroids" in a way. We can create as many browser tabs as we want in a given browser instance, and even separate browser instances, each in their own window, that has multiple tabs open. I know of people who have either a separate browser window, or sometimes who use different browsers, and use each for a specific purpose. I keep four browsers open at once, and have separate e-mail addresses open in webmail in each, and it's the same webmail in a specific browser all the time, so when I want to check certain accounts I know to look in a specific browser, and always to the tab I keep leftmost/first in the collection of open tabs. It's all a method to cyber organize so that you can keep things together that you want together and separate that you want separate. I really can see Mike's example as a perfect one for when you might be, say, writing papers for several different classes, and wanting to have reference material open for each class/paper, and it's way easier to know what's what when each of those collections of programs, activities, and purposes exists in its own little virtual world. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Why would you even need more than one desktop? I can’t imagine a situation where I would need that. But then maybe I’m missing something. Sharon

Move among Desktops with CTRL-WINDOWS KEY-RIGHT ARROW and CTRL-WINDOWS KEY-LEFT ARROW.
You can also move applications among Desktops and manage Desktops in Task View (WINDOWS KEY-TAB).
To close a Desktop, press CTRL-WINDOWS KEY-F4.

Hi,
I want to create multiple desktops in Windows 10. When I press control+windows+d I am put in a new desktop. However, I cannot figure out how to move between desktops. I tried control+windows+left or right arrow without success. Any help is appreciated.
