In Windows 11 there’s a button on the taskbar next to the start button that lets you switch between multiple desktop environments. It seems like something that would probably be useful in theory, but I can’t think of any reason why I would want to use it. Is it actually useful? What do people use it for?
It’s basically GoScreen which I didn’t learn about until recently…but I didn’t see some of the features I like about go screen.
I have 3 monitors and I get to the point I have projects open for estimating claims (fire and water damage) with estimating software, pictures, pdf diagrams and notepad files open. Then my phone rings and I go to a different mode…I want all of that exactly where I left it, and jump back to a second desktop with all of my other software open. (Phone, email, web browser etc) to do normal business.
If I didn’t have this I would never get these projects done because I would close everything and have to open it all to get back to the same place in my analysis and evaluation.
Or you’d be buried by 300 layers of very similar open apps with different info loaded in each instance
