The second desktop is where you keep all your communication and daily planning stuff, such as calendar, email, and Skype. On the first, you put your current work project in Microsoft Excel, Word, Adobe Photoshop…whatever. You could, for example, create three virtual desktops. This is an extremely helpful feature for those times when you have tons of windows open at once. As you can see above, it shows all my open windows so I can quickly return to a specific program or document.

For that, you’ll need to learn a few keyboard shortcuts, which we’ll discuss shortly.īut first let’s click on the new Task View icon. We’ll start with that, but let me stress this is neither the easiest nor the most efficient way to use the new feature. The simplest way to get to Task View and multiple desktops is to click the new icon next to the Cortana entry box on your taskbar. Task View takes a different approach by showing all your open windows in a permanent view that doesn’t disappear until you dismiss it or pick a window to be in the foreground. But the Alt + Tab feature disappears as soon as you let go of the keyboard. Windows has had something similar for years-you’ve seen it if you’ve ever used the keyboard shortcut Alt + Tab to cycle through open programs.
