Repeat the shortcut to close more or all of the remaining desktops. Use the shortcut Windows key + Ctrl + F4 to close a virtual desktop. However, depending upon your hardware and how many you have open at once, your system’s performance could be negatively affected. You will find a field for the shortcut key. Right-click on the icon and go to properties.
First thing you need to do is find the desktop shortcut of the program you want to create a hotkey for. It will take less than a few steps to do so.
Having several virtual desktops on your Windows 10 computer is very helpful. To create a hotkey for any program on Windows 7 the procedure is very simple.
Right-click on the window you want to move.Click the Task View button or use the keyboard shortcut Windows key + Tab.Navigate to the desktop where the window is open.You can move an open window from one desktop to another by following the steps below: Your only option is to look at your Task View to find where the app was installed. For those apps, if you have it running on Desktop 1 and try to open it in Desktop 2, you will be jumped back to Desktop 1 where the app is running. However, other apps (such as the Windows Store app) will only allow you to use them on one window at a time. Some apps, such as Microsoft Word or Chrome, will let you open different windows on different desktops. If you open an app or window in one desktop, it will stay open and remain on that desktop. You can open different programs on every virtual desktop you create in Windows 10. Now that you have created new desktops, how do you populate them with the applications and programs you need? If you have created a new virtual desktop that you don’t want to use, click on the X at the top of the virtual desktop to delete it.
So what changed? Have a look at this post, I can’t guarantee the correctness of the comments, but one from a chap called KVM PRO seems to make sense.Work With Apps & Windows On Virtual Desktops Save the changes in Notepad, and, to try this out, right-click on the AutoHotKey tray icon, click on “Reload This Script” and then try the Ctrl+Alt+S keypress, which should correct an incorrectly detected monitor. B ) Type rundll32.exe powrprof. A ) Right click on a empty area on desktop, and click on New and Shortcut. This then binds the Alt+Ctrl+S keystroke to a macro that will minimize all apps, open a context menu on the desktop, open the Screen Resolution applet, detect the optimal screen resolution and close the applet. then follow these steps to create a windows shortcut that would make your HTPC sleep when double-clicking on it. IfWinNotActive, Screen Resolution,, WinActivate, Screen Resolution, By default, the first time you do this, it will ask you if you want to create and modify AutoHotKey.ahk, which is the configuration file that will be loaded by default when AutoHotKey is started. Having installed it, make sure that the autohotkey.exe is included in your startup folder (with a simple set of macros, it has a negligible effect on boot times), and then launch the application.
If you’re interested in the why, skip to the bottom of the post, but for those of you after a solution, there are two: buy a new KVM switch that supports full time active DDC, or use a simple hotkey tool that helps get round this:ĭownloading this little application then allows you to create macros that replicate keypresses and mouse-clicks. What now happens is that when the Win7 machine is turned on or resumed with the KVM switch switched to the other machine, the Win7 display will default to 1024×768, even though it previously “Knew” about my monitor having an optimal resolution of 1600×1200. This worked fine until Windows 7, which has “improved” the way the OS handles the display hardware. Diagram showing KVM switch attaching 2 PCs to one monitor and keyboard
