Windows 11 - Different Icons in different Virtual Desktops

FemoTheDon 

I have a new PC running WIN11. I have watched so many videos and have read a lot of stuff about multiple desktops. The videos show the exact kind of functionality I am after...to have multiple desktops that are groomed to support different activities...like one desktop has all my gaming stuff (Icons/shortcuts etc..)   They all show how to add a desktop/change background /rename it/ drag icons to it....but none of that works for me ....any added desktop starts off as a clone of the original Desktop ...and then anything you do on any desktop replicates that same action on all the others... and you can never drag an icon onto the "add desktop " selection  the add desktop tool dissapraers as you get close to the add desktop tool.....   this is very disturbing that there are instructional vidoes that seem to show this sought after functionality      none of them say anything about multitasking or registry changes or any relationship to OneDrive...they show it working very simply and that is what I  would like to do     why is this so "mystical " ? 

thanks
