Windows multiple monitor desktop

Maybe I should explain the setup -. I have my first cup of coffee, watch TV or YouTube, check personal email, surf the web, whatever.

For this layout, I have a personal virtural desktop, we'll call it PVD. Once my work day officially begins, I will switch to a work virtual desktop WVD. This is very important as I do a lot of research for work, so I need to be able to use and see just work tabs. Also on the this monitor, I have my time recording app open.

The only exception would be those programs I need to share across Word, Chrome, for example , but again, they need to be separate. To counter the above, I tried using Dexpot in conjunction with Display Fusion for taskbars, cause again W10 won't like me have a separate taskbar for my second monitor , which was fine, but little quirks like WVD programs showing up in PVD when my monitors go to sleep or when I put my PC in hibernate was annoying, so I'm trying another program.

So far, I can do the last two I believe the first would need a separate program, much like Display Fusion , which I can't do on W So I guess I can continue using this program and then purchase it once my trial is over, but I don't think I should need to purchase anything if someone had put some thought into this.

Does no one at Microsoft use more than one monitor? Do they just fill up their taskbars will every app and program for both work and play? Like, why would I want Outlook pinned to a taskbar that doesn't relate to work?

Why would they not even think of having the second or third or four taskbar just related to that monitor? Any suggestions appreciated. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse.
