So, when clicking the pinned Outlook taskbar icon on desktop 1, instead of being taken to the running instance of Outlook on desktop 2, Windows opens a new instance of Outlook on desktop 1. But I don’t think I’ve ever needed to run two instances of Outlook at the same time. Now that makes sense for most Office apps, like Word and Excel. But like other Office 365 ProPlus desktop applications, Outlook can run multiple instances. If I click the pinned taskbar icon on desktop 1, I get taken to the running instance of the app on desktop 2. I like to keep Microsoft To Do and Outlook open on a virtual desktop in Windows 10. For more details on how to work with virtual desktops, see Using Virtual Desktops in Windows 10 on Petri. Not to be confused with Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD), the new Windows 10 Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution from Microsoft that is currently in preview, virtual desktops is a feature inside Windows 10 aimed at improving workflow and productivity.

Virtual desktops allow you to organize open applications on one or more ‘virtual’ desktops.
