This tutorial will show you how to open Task View in Windows 11.
Task View is a multiple desktops manager that allows you to quickly switch between all of your open apps on multiple desktops. This makes multitasking and organizing with your opened apps much easier.
Once you open Task View, and you can press the Escape key to exit and close Task View without having to switch desktops.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26052 (Canary and Dev), the preview thumbnail title in the taskbar, ALT + Tab and Task View for File Explorer windows will now indicate if that window includes multiple tabs.
