On Windows 10, you start this feature of Virtual Desktop by opening the task view with the button in the taskbar, or the key combination Windows + Tab .

Virtual desktops are only suitable as temporary work areas!

Do not treat the virtual desktop like a real desktop. To get the best possible benefit, the built-in virtual desktop feature in Windows 10 is still fairly limited compared to other operating systems like Apple's MAC OS or Google's Android. You cannot set different desktop wallpapers for different desktops. You cannot use any other W10 color scheme set, or apply other types of personalization. Different desktops cannot have different / dedicated taskbars, or even different icons on the desktop, and there is no way to quickly jump to a particular desktop. You have to go through this with the keyboard commands, or use the task view to navigate

Tip:   ... Change system fonts, titles, labels, menus, symbols in Windows 10 / 8.1 / 7!

Questions for this:
  1. I do not want to hide confidential documents there are also no criminal documents it is about discretion when I type in the word I do not want it visible when leaving Windows 10 computer it is also not about external access or encrypting confidential files just to hide simple and none maximum protection is there a solution for Windows 10?
  2. I can easily hide files on MS Windows 10 with on-board equipment, but need tips on how to hide programs or windows, on Windows 7 I used external tools but no longer works as free tools on Windows 10 to hide the programs, it has problems on Windows is something possible with on-board equipment?
  3. I did not give unauthorized users just to quickly hide open files that I am currently working on, so it was worth considering having an alternative solution on Windows 10 to prevent others from seeing on the desktop and not having to close the files first of all Making it invisible if others cannot find it quickly but without encryption or password protection, i.e. simply hiding open programs, is this possible with Windows Tools?
