Windows offers a powerful feature called Task View that allows you to create and manage multiple desktops, helping you organize your workspace and stay focused. Whether you’re multitasking between work and personal tasks or keeping different projects separate, virtual desktops can boost productivity.
Here’s how to open and manage multiple desktops in Windows:
- Open Task View
• Click the Task View icon on your taskbar (usually next to the Start button),
OR
• Press Windows key + Tab on your keyboard. - Create a New Desktop
• In the Task View interface, click “+ New Desktop” at the top left.
• Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Windows key + Ctrl + D to instantly create a new desktop.
Each desktop functions as an independent workspace with its own open apps and windows. You can easily switch between them using Windows key + Ctrl + Left/Right arrow.
This feature is especially useful for students, professionals, and anyone who needs to keep their digital space uncluttered and organized.

Tip: You can also close a virtual desktop by going back to Task View and clicking the “X” on the desktop you want to remove. All open apps on that desktop will move to the previous one automatically.
Stay organized and maximize your productivity with Windows virtual desktops!
