How do you create multiple desktops in Windows 10?

By default you have just one desktop displaying folders and files.


However, you can add multiple desktops which you can access from Task Bar.

Click on Task View shown here:


+New Desktop opens far right as shown.


Click on +New Desktop to open a new desktop as shown.


Desktop has an open Notepad document and Desktop 2 has no open document.


Click on Desktop 2 and then open any App or application. That app appears in Desktop 2.

 You can create many desktops to group the apps you are running and getting to it quick from the taskbar.

Desktops created by one user is not accessible by other users.

You can personalize the desktop as shown. Desktop 2 has a different theme.
