Why would I want to use the multi-desktop functionality in Windows 11? - eviltoast

In Windows 11 there’s a button on the taskbar next to the start button that lets you switch between multiple desktop environments. It seems like something that would probably be useful in theory, but I can’t think of any reason why I would want to use it. Is it actually useful? What do people use it for?

    Sure, if you don’t trust the other user. This would not be advisable in a work environment. But since the only user beside myself is my wife and daughter. I’m ok with it.

      It’s not about trust. It’s just about keeping shit separate. It’s just good practice. Do you want a young kid on your pc account with all your shit open? I think not…

      And if you collaborate with you ride it kids, ie share bookmarks etc, this is much easier then separate accounts and speeds up login requirements.
