Windows Virtual Desktop Helper

Windows Virtual Desktop Helper is a handy tool even if you don't have multiple monitors. The latest versions of Windows let you use virtual desktops (VD), which can be super useful! But, let's be honest, there are some basic features missing that would make life easier.

What Does This Tool Do?

This tool is all about filling in those gaps and making it easier to manage your virtual desktops. One cool thing about it is that it has a portable edition. This means you can keep your system clean and clutter-free while still enjoying its benefits.

No Interface? No Problem!

You might think, "No interface? How does that work?" Well, instead of having a window open up, the app just shows the number of your current virtual desktop right in the Notification area. So, every time you switch desktops, you'll know exactly where you are without any fuss.

Stay Organized with Notifications

The app puts a little notification in the System Tray. This way, when you're jumping between different desktops, you won't lose track of files or programs stored on another VD. It saves time and keeps things organized!

Customizing Your Experience

When you switch to another VD, by default it shows an overlay with both the VD number and its name (if you've assigned one). You can even customize how long this overlay appears! There are three options to choose from: short, medium, and long. Plus, there's also an option for animation and translucency if you're into that kind of stuff.

Compatibility Note

A quick heads-up: this tool is built for Windows 10 and 11 only. If you're using older versions like Windows 7 or 8—or anything on Windows Server—it won't work.

The Future Looks Bright

If you're someone who uses virtual desktops often, Windows Virtual Desktop Helper could really help streamline your workflow. The developer has plans to add more features soon too! Think more configuration settings and even a console mode for script lovers!
