Virtual Desktop with AutoCAD
Hello all I am a AutoCAD user having issues with Virtual Desktop. SOMETIMES not all the time does it happen and it is really frustrating when it doesn't work the way I am intending to.
Sometimes it works great and it is not open when opening a new virtual desktop and I can have my outlook and chrome open with no AutoCAD overlay.
When opening a new virtual desktop using the Windows key + CTRL + D command it sometimes opens with my currently open AutoCAD screen and AutoCAD will minimize on both desktops if minimized in either desktop. Its basically useless to use virtual desktops when this happens I could be in a single desktop and accomplish the same thing.
Does anyone know what may be causing this or have a fix for it?
Thank you!

The issue reported by Blair is with the Virtual Desktops feature in Windows 10. I recommend submitting the issue in Feedback Hub under the Desktop Environment \ Virtual Desktops category.

BlairPS Can you send the sequence of events? Something like this:
- From desktop 1, press CTRL+Win+D to open a new desktop (desktop 2)
- Switch back to Desktop 1
- Launch AutoCAD as a RemoteApp
Expected:
- AutoCAD launches on Desktop 1.
Actual:
- AutoCAD launches on Desktop 2.
