In Windows 11, switching to different virtual desktops has the following shortcuts by default:

  1. Alt+Tab+Click
  2. Alt+Tab+Arrow+Enter
  3. Win+Ctrl+Arrow

In the old days, there was a way to customise these shortcuts. What I would like to have is:

Alt+n where n=1,2,3... to switch instantly to the n-th virtual desktop.

Is this possible? How?

EDIT

Maybe my settings.ini is not sound:

Check out this post.

  1. Download and unzip this Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Enhancer
  2. Replace VirtualDesktopAccessor.dll with file from here
  3. Run virtual-desktop-enhancer.exe as administrator.
  4. Edit the [KeyboardShortcutsModifiers] section in settings.ini if necessary. Default for switching between VirtualDesktops are Win+Ctrl+1/2/3/n.
