Windows 10 offers a couple of customization settings for virtual desktops. You can also close the current virtual desktop by pressing Windows Logo+Ctrl+F4.
When you do that, Windows 10 moves the current desktop, as well as its icons and running apps, offscreen and replaces them with the second desktop, meaning you now see its icons and apps. A virtual desktop is just like the regular Windows 10 desktop-that is, you can add icons to it, open apps on it, and so on-except that it resides offscreen until you summon it with your mouse or the keyboard. Well, we could go back to that, or we could take advantage of a useful new Windows 10 feature: virtual desktops. Now that the desktop is once again a first-class Windows citizen, we can all go back to cluttering our screens with umpteen app windows scattered around the desktop.
