<![CDATA[If your Alt+Tab list is getting out of control, virtual desktops on Windows can help.]]>If your Alt+Tab list is getting out of control, virtual desktops on Windows can help. Spread your work across multiple desktops -- one for email, one for research, one for whatever else you have going -- and each desktop keeps its own set of open windows. Less clutter, easier navigation.

Here are the shortcuts to get started:

Windows key + Ctrl + 😧 Create a new virtual desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + Right arrow: Move to the next desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + Left arrow: Move to the previous desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + F4: Close the current desktop.

Press Windows key + Tab to open Task View, where you can see all your desktops and running apps at once. From there, press Shift + F10 on any running app to get the option to move it to a different desktop.
