I want to make a double desktop which can put some icons about work and study apps on one of the desktops, and put icons about games on the other desktop, and if I want, I can switch between them.
How can I achieve it? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Per my knowledge, the windows virtual desktop feature could simply display your different open windows and applications but is not allowed to set up different taskbars, or different icons on the desktop.

    Therefore, to achieve the multiple desktops, you may consider to use actual monitors with extend mode(which you can drag the desktop icons but with the same task bar) or third party-applications via Internet.

    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.

    Thanks,

    The simplest would be to create two separate local accounts.

    Maybe it would help if you defined what a "double desktop" means.

    When you duplicate the display you will have the same image on both monitors. When you extend your display, you will add the space to second monitor, then you can arrange the icons as desired.

    if icons on the desktop which is duplicated is independent of the original one

    It will be as long as you extend the display as opposed to duplicating it.
