Hi,
I recently joined the windows insider program and installed Windows 11. But since then, I am facing a significantly slow virtual desktop switching, compared to windows 10 (4 fingers slide gesture on trackpad).
I am on the beta channel, but I have been facing this problem since the very first release of windows 11, when I was on the dev channel.
These are my hardware specs :
Is there any solution to speed this up ?
Thanks in advance.

If you change your touchpad settings so that four-finger swipe performs the Ctrl+Win+Right/Left Arrow key, you lose an important function. One of my virtual desktops is a remote desktop session in full screen mode. I can switch in and out of it with touchpad gestures. I cannot with keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts are sent to the remote computer.
The other suggestions of setting a single color background mostly solved the problem for me.
And turning off "Snap Windows", like another user suggested, did not provide any additional benefit, so I turned it back on. I like black backgrounds anyway (fewer distractions), so it is a win-win.
Maybe in a few more years Microsoft will fix this problem. I have a Mac also, and it is flawless with these sort of things.

for anyone still struggling with this, I found a solution (thanks to ChatGPT woohoo) which isn't as heavy-handed as some of the others here. you can do: right click start menu > system > advanced system settings > performance settings > visual effects > choose "custom" > disable "animate controls and elements inside Windows"

I solved the issue by setting 'Adjust for best appearence'... figure out why... I tried everything else, solid background, disable animations, disable window snapping... but nothing seemed to fix the problem. Anyway thank you for putting me on the right track @esowdenguzman
