Windows Sysinternals Desktops is a virtual desktop utility that provides up to 4 virtual desktops. It creates a Windows desktop object for each additional virtual desktop other than the default one. I am finding that Windows keyboard shortcuts (like Win+E to launch Explorer) work only in Desktop 1 and not in the newly created Desktop 2, 3 and 4!
What is the cause of this problem? How can I get my keyboard shortcuts working with the other virtual desktops?

It happens to me too. According to official documentation, Desktops create a new
explorer.exeprocess for each new desktop created. Maybe this is the problem, and the newexplorer.exeprocesses do not capture keyboard shortcuts events like theWin+Eone.
