    Multiple desktops


    Just found the new feature (for windows anyway) of multiple desktops. This I like a lot, makes multitasking that much more easier

    Does anyone know if there are, and if so, what are the keyboard controls? do I have to use the task bar button to create a new desktop, and more importantly, switch from one to another by keyboard?

    thanks for any help.

    Hi Mayagrafix and welcome to Windows 10 forums. :)

    I don't believe there are any keyboard short cuts for that yet. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft adds them in the near future.

    I'm not sure if there are dedicated shortcuts but...

    Win Key + Tab and then press Tab again, you can now add a new desktop by pressing Enter or use Left / Right keys to move and select another desktop.

    If that makes sense lol

    Using the above method i don't need to touch my mouse :)

    WIN+CTRL+D to create a new desktop,
    WIN+CTRL+F4 to close an existing desktop,
    WIN+CTRL+Left or Right Arrows to switch between desktops.

    Good one!
    Do you use those virtual desktops yourself? My 4th monitor is always off now. I barely use it. :)

    Not really. Haven't had the need to, I guess.
