Windows 10: Opening app in a virtual desktop takes me to another virtual desktop where the app is...

Hi,So I have several virtual desktops running on my desktop. When I start up an app such as MS Word or Adobe it will take me to the virtual desktop where an instance of this is already running.That is really not wanted behavior as I want the app to run in the specific virtual desktop that I started to initiate.Of course I can drag the window of the app to the specific virtual desktop that I want it to be in afterwards but that is really an additional task which I don't think I should do. Because, why else is the purpose of virtual desktops!?How can this be circumvented or solved?

Opening Apps on a multiple virtual desktops

When I open an App, i.e. Excel, on one Virtual Desktop and then try and open an excel document from file explorer on a second virtual desktop the document opens up and switches views to the original virtual desktop making using virtual desktops frustrating
and time consuming. Is there anyway to get Apps to ensure that apps open on the current desktop even when the App is already open on another desktop?

 

Opening Apps in Specific Virtual Desktops

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to set my apps to open in particular virtual desktops.

Desired effect: When I run the following apps, I'd like for them to open only in their designated vitrual desktops. (E.x. I'd like for my Spotify to open only in Virtual Desktop 5, and my browser to open only in Virtual Desktop 2)

Any ideas? Thanks.

All the best.
