This function was among the key features I expected, as I prefer keeping different workspaces distinct. I’m curious if each virtual desktop includes its own separate taskbar. For instance, one desktop might be dedicated to Steam games, where I could place Steam on the taskbar and maybe Chrome (or Edge later). Another desktop could be for streaming, with OBS visible there. From what I’ve seen in videos, this capability doesn’t appear, though it might be due to changes in how taskbars are handled across virtual desktops.

Creating a fresh desktop in 10 leaves the same taskbar intact.

Computers exchange window bars.

Enable sharing of taskbars. Switching to another desktop when opening an app isn't ideal, but I'll go with it. I expect some third-party tweaks later.

Yes, you can create a separate desktop for each monitor.

You might require a software tool for this task.

The update isn't finished, but the technical preview shows a shared taskbar.

I hope so. I was trying to improve my computer management, but I think I’ll experiment with it once I’m back at home.

I suggest using the method I follow on Macs—attach a side button to the mouse key combo so you can view all desktops, then select the one you need. I’m not sure how it will function in 10 years, but it simplifies things on OSX and feels very natural.
