what is Task View in Windows 11

Task View in Windows 11 is a feature that allows users to quickly switch between their local machine and any virtual desktops or Cloud PCs they have set up. It can be accessed by selecting the Task View button on the taskbar or by using the keyboard shortcut Windows key + Tab.

Task View provides a visual overview of all open applications and desktops, making it easier to manage multiple tasks and improve productivity. Users can create new virtual desktops for different projects or workflows, helping to keep their work organized and focused.

Additionally, Task View can show a list of dev boxes if you are using Windows 11 in a developer context, allowing for seamless navigation between local and remote development environments.

Turning Task View on displays the Task View icon on the taskbar. It lets you create and switch between windows or apps that you have open on various desktops.
