Windows change both Desktops on multiple monitor

Question

So recently I came from macos to windows 11, I usually have two monitors on my tabletop, but everytime i swipe desktop both of my monitor 's desktop went left/right, when I clearly wasn't wanting to do that, why does this happen? Is there a way to change that?

Answer 1

Hi @Tomi Yang ,

that behaviour is "normal" and expected with Windows running on multiple monitors.
Windows will always swipe all desktops of all monitors, that's a big difference to MacOS.
As far as I know there is no option or way to change this in Windows.

Hello there,

In a Dual monitor with MAC OS, you can change the desktops separately but this is not possible in Windows as this is by the design of Windows.

When you create multiple desktops and then press CTRL + WIN + RIGHT or LEFT ALT both monitor desktops move together and there are no settings to change this.
