Sorry you ran into issues! If you don't mind sharing, what OS and version were you on, and did you see an error message when you tried to create a desktop, or did nothing happen?

Thanks. This comment section probably isn't the best place to handle support, so if you still want to try getting it working, feel free to send an email to support@worktop.dev and I'll try my best to help.

What is WorkTop?

WorkTop is a multi-desktop manager for Windows that creates real, persistent desktops, each with its own files, icon layout, and wallpaper. Unlike Windows' built-in virtual desktops or Task View, which share files and just group applications, WorkTop gives every desktop a separate physical workspace.

Use it to separate work from personal life, dedicate a desktop to each project or game, or keep a clean desktop for screenshots and presentations. Switch between desktops instantly via hotkey, the system tray, or right clicking the desktop.

Features include per-desktop wallpapers, scheduled desktop switching, and linking your desktop files to your virtual desktops.

The free version supports up to 3 desktops in addition to your main OS desktop.

WorkTop Pro ($14.99 one-time purchase, no subscription) unlocks unlimited desktops, per-desktop wallpapers, and scheduled switching.

Available as a direct download or via the Microsoft Store. Works on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
