Windows virtual desktops: how to configure taskbar and Alt+Tab settings

Windows includes a built-in virtual desktops feature that lets users separate apps by purpose, such as keeping communication apps away from work tools, effectively expanding usable screen space on a single monitor. Users can adjust taskbar and Alt+Tab behavior per desktop through Settings > System > Multitasking > Desktops. A free third-party tool called Windows Virtual Desktop Helper, available on GitHub, adds extra features like displaying desktop names and system tray navigation.

Microsoft defaults Windows settings backup to on for enterprise devices on 26H2

Microsoft has turned on its Windows settings backup and restore tool by default for Microsoft Entra-joined and Entra hybrid-joined enterprise devices upgraded to Windows 11 26H2, released September 29. The feature, previously opt-in since its 2024 unveiling and general availability in August 2025, now backs up settings and app lists automatically unless an admin has already configured the policy. Restore still requires explicit admin setup, and the default-on change excludes devices in DMA-regulated regions or sovereign/restricted cloud environments.
