Windows 11 Pro.
So in Windows 10 when I press Win + Tab, it would open a blank, new virtual desktop. In Windows 11 when I do the same, the virtual desktop that opens has the same applications and windows as the main desktop that's already open.

Anyone know how to get it to open a new, blank, virtual desktop like it did in Windows 10?

I've attached a screenshot of my settings and what it looks like when I have multiple desktops open (they all have the same apps. and windows in them).

Hitting Win+Ctrl+D only opens a new virtual desktop without automatically switching to it.
