The prominence of multitasking is back in the news thanks to Windows 10 and Microsoft has wanted to redesign this function in all its devices. Starting with Windows 7 where we only had traditional desktop applications and continuing with Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, where Windows Store applications emerged whose function and appearance were similar to those we could have in other systems such as iOS or Android (but designed for tablets and mobile devices), Microsoft has not stopped announcing how multitasking works in its operating system, which makes it possible to have 2 to 6 modern UI style applications open at once.
Now with Windows 10 the opportunity arises ejecutar aplicaciones de user interface modernas en el escritorio, and this has taken the concept one step further. From this dynamic, the type of application will not be distinguished and we will not care if it corresponds to a traditional desktop or a Modern UI, since its use will be equivalent within our computer. With all this, we must mention that they add other improvements What are new gestures to dock windows or native support for virtual desktops.
Docking windows to the desktop
With Windows 7 Gestures that many users have learned over time came to the desktop due to their great advantage, among them, the opportunity to maximize a window by basically sliding it to the top of the desktopor resize it to the middle of the screen by moving it to one side. These gestures remained with Windows 8, but in Windows 10 they have been taken further with some very useful new features.
From now on in Windows 10, if we move an application to one of the sides, it will not only rescale to occupy half of the screen as previously, but also the system will suggest to us what other applications that are running can also be placed on the other half of our desk. A curious and useful detail, since when scaling an application on one side of the screen, it is because in general we want to place another on the adjacent side. Equivalent, Another gesture has been added in Windows 10 that makes it possible to take an application to one of the corners and that this dynamic is re-scaled occupy a quarter of the screen, thus being able to place up to 4 applications.
Two new functions with which Windows 10 has managed to further improve the management of windows on the desktop and therefore multitasking.
Multiple desk stand

Finally, the virtual desktops arrive, and natively, to the Windows system. Para los amantes de las instituciones que huyen de las bars de tareas saturadas de aplicaciones, por último pueden cambiar sus programas entre escritorios sin necesidad de ningún otro programa que emule esta función.
To move between each of the available desks, todo lo que debe hacer es hacer un clic en el botón en la barra de tareas junto al Search Engine de Cortana o la barra de búsqueda. Its launch as you can see is simple, it allows us to switch between desktops, between applications and allows us to add more desktops or remove those that we do not want with just one click on the X button.
Access to this function can also be done through keyboard shortcuts. Of this dynamic, if we press WIN + TAB we will access the administration of the desktops and if we wish switch from one desktop to another we can do it with the key combination WIN + CTRL + ARROW (left or right). In that case, you will be able to see a side animation to indicate that the desktop is being changed, in the style of other Linux-like desktops or other applications for this purpose.
Multitasking setup
Most of the multitasking functions can be configured in Windows 10 through its control panel. Setting. From this dynamic, we must select this option within the chapter on System and go to the section Multiple task, where We can see how to adapt its functionalities to our needs.
Thus, from this menu we can:
- Enable or disable window arrangement by moving them to the edges or corners of the screen.
- Enable or disable docking more than one window wraps the rest.
- Enable or disable that when docking a window, Windows 10 shows us which ones we can dock next to it.
equivalent we can specify which programs will be displayed on the taskbar, in the Task View application viewer which we can enter using the combination of keys ALT + TAB and specify if only virtual desktop applications are displayed that we have active at that moment or if applications from all desktops will be displayed.
Conclusions.
As you may have observed during this tutorial, multitasking in Windows 10 is highly configurable by users and responds to a policy of adaptation that will improve the experience of all those who want to reconcile with the new operating system from the Redmond house. After all, who doesn't perform better when the environment is to their liking.
