I’m also curious whether Microsoft plans to implement such a feature in Widows 11. Is there any workaround in this regard?

Truth to be said, this mode is also useful, however I need to have all my virtual desktops on all the monitors independent.

Furthermore, when I switch between virtual desktops on one monitor, it also does it on another one simultaneously.

Using “extended mode” for multiple displays, If I create a virtual desktop on one monitor, Windows creates also one on the external monitor. I’ve just discovered that despite the very handy feature of “remembering” placement of opened apps on the external monitor when plugged back in to the laptop, there is another one missing – independent virtual desktops.
