Give every window a home
Plan two Windows virtual desktops before moving any real apps. Each card represents one whole window, including all its tabs. Choose where that window belongs; split mixed-purpose tabs into separate real browser windows first.
This is a planning worksheet, not Task view or a Windows control panel. It cannot read, open, move or close your real windows. The examples are fictional. Your edits stay in this page's memory until you export them; reloading restores the sample.
Sample loaded: 3 windows across 2 desktops.
Writing
Admin
Use the plan in Windows
- Press Windows+Tab, create a second desktop, and name the two desktops Writing and Admin.
- Put unrelated browser tabs in separate browser windows before arranging them.
- In Task view, right-click a window thumbnail, choose Move to, and select its planned desktop.
- Press Windows+Ctrl+Left Arrow or Right Arrow to switch. Check that each task's needed window is on its assigned desktop.
If an app appears in Alt+Tab or the taskbar across desktops, review Settings > System > Multitasking > Desktops. Display settings and window placement are different controls.
