Launch multiple apps at once with the new Workspace feature in Microsoft PowerToys v0.84

On Windows 11 (and 10), you can use PowerToys Workspaces to launch and automatically arrange a group of apps on your desktop. In this guide, I'll explain how to use this feature.

As part of my work setup, I have a system with multiple monitors on which I usually arrange the same group of apps. Instead of using the default layouts to organize my apps on the desktop, I use the “FanceZones” feature available in PowerToys to create custom layouts. But even then, it takes a long time when I restart the computer to relaunch my apps and arrange them on the screen, but this is where “Workspaces” come in handy.

“Workspaces” is a feature available in PowerToys (version 0.84.0) that allows you to create and save custom layouts to launch a group of apps and arrange them automatically and “quickly” on the screen with just “one click”, whether you have one, two, three or more monitors.
