Get/SetDesktopIsPerMonitor()

[Ian-Pratt]

Hi, thanks for the great work on PSVirtualDesktop!

Looking through the src, I'm intrigued by the new Get/SetDesktopIsPerMonitor() calls that you've found in the COM interface -- I haven't found them mentioned anywhere else on the web.

Do you happen to know whether SetDesktopIsPerMonitor(true) might result in each monitor in a multi-monitor setup getting its own virtual desktop instance, hence enabling virtual desktops to be created and switched independently on each monitor rather than the default situation of a single virtual desktop spanning all monitors? This is a feature I've been wanting forever.

I notice that the current PSVirtualDesktop code doesn't define Get/SetDesktopIsPerMonitor for OSBuild 26100, and doesn't expose it as a cmdlet.

I'm not very familiar with powershell but I'll have a go plumbing this through unless you already know that it won't do what I wish? Thanks!

Hello @Ian-Pratt,

I used SetDesktopIsPerMonitor(true) to delete all virtual desktops but the actual one, I could not find out any use for multiple monitors. The API definition was removed with Windows 11 23H2 (build 22631) , so I had to remove the declaration.

Maybe it is still present somewhere, but there is no documentation.

Greetings
