I'm using multiple virtual desktops on Windows 10. Now I'd like to pin for example firefox to the taskbar on desktop 2. But the app icon is then visible on every desktop.
Is it possible to just show it on a specific desktop instead of every desktop?
It is impossible as of Windows 10 version 1909. Virtual desktops are a game of DWM cloaking, and there is no separate preferences/settings for different virtual desktops. See this.

Suppose I am using Kubuntu.
So I have Kwin as Window Manager and
KDE as Desktop Environment.
I use VSCode and other software.
I am switching to other Desktop Environment and Window Manager alongside Kwin and KDE.
Note: This means I will have both KDE and other Desktop Environments installed on my computer and I will switch between these from login screen. [Same for window manager]
Now, If I switch to Cinnamon Desktop Environment or GNOME Desktop Environment or any other Desktop Environment.
or if I switch to i3, bspwm, dwm Tiling Window Manager or Fluxbox, Openbox Stacking/Floating Window Manager.
or switched both Desktop Environment and Window Manager.
Now can I use the same VSCode and other softwares on these different Desktop Environment and Window Manager? or do I need to install same software for each of these Desktop Environments and Window Managers?
All your self installed programs will work fine in whatever environment you choose.
For maximum compatibility, you should still prefer x11 over Wayland as display server - for example screen sharing in ms teams needs x11, last time I checked. This depends on your personal needs.
Although you can always start any program from a terminal, we usually like to have a graphical menu of some kind that lists all available GUI apps. Desktop environments all contain their own menu.
If you go down the window manager route, you are expected to install a launcher yourself (such as dmenu or rofi), and configure keyboard shortcuts to launch each one of your favorite apps.
I recommend watching DistroTube on YouTube for lots of good info about tiling window managers and Linux in general.
I've tried everything. Coherence Mode is greyed out in Parallels 12 for Windows 10.
I do not have an antivirus. (http://kb.parallels.com/en/121427)
There are no other display adapters besides the Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM) that are installed.
Parallels tools are installed properly. I've tried re-installing parallels tools in every manner outlined here: http://kb.parallels.com/112609
My setup:
- I'm using a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to hook up to a 30" monitor.
- Unplugging it doesn't allow Coherence Mode either.
Thanks for any help!

The following works for me:
1. Click Parallel Desktop (the || sign)--> View --> Unclick Full Screen Mode
2. The Virtual Machine should now reside in a smaller window.
3. Click Parallels Desktop again and the "Enter Coherence Mode" option should work now.
Hope it helps!
ps1. Have tried exactly the same sequence as you did but it turned out that all installations are actually ok and it's just about getting familiar with how Parallels Desktop works.
ps2. Once entering coherence mode, you'll also be able to open Windows APPs directly under Mac as if they were Mac APPs. Before that if you open these Windows APP they will first switch to full screen Win 10 and then open the Windows APP within Win 10.
I was working on my windows 8.1 OS on my Virtual Box running Visual Studio 2012. Yes I am working on an 8.0 with a feature and after planned on migrating everything to 8.1 since it can be integrated more easily with PC And tablet. Everything was working fine and my windows phone 8 was connected via my virtual box via USB and showed up in VS2012. My Virtual Box did 2 random shutdowns and now my VS2012 only shows an option to use an emulator. This was never working before which is why I always debugged via my windows phone. Hyper-V and all of that stuff specified it was installed using a CoreInfo.exe file I got off the web to check to make sure the appropriate stuff was enabled. Now after the 2 random virtual machine shutdowns the emulator is the only option showing when I want to debug.
Things checked:
Restarted both phone and virtual box OS.
Uninstalled device driver on the virtual box machine.
The 2.0 option is checked in the settings for the virtual box OS and can see the windows phone connected on the virtual machine via the device manager.
It mysteriously started working again where the windows phone was connected instead of to a 7.1 emulator. I wish I could give a reason or an explanation to what I did to fix it but I didn't do anything to create this specific issue nor to fix it. I put this up just in case anyone was reading it.
I'm trying something very different. We have legacy Windows Mobile programs that we need to run on Windows 8.1 tablets with capacitive screens. To do this we've installed the stand alone Windows Mobile 6.1 Emulator which runs without a problem. Doing this, we can load and run our old Windows Mobile programs on the 8.1 Tablet and they run well but we are having problems with the touch or mouse click. The emulator is meant to be used with a mouse button to select and click not a touch screen. When we run our old programs we have to double-tap in order to select anything. This is not a problem until we try to enter text from the emulator keyboard. We have to tap each key twice in order to enter a character. This becomes very tiresome and makes the legacy program useless. Our legacy Win Mobile program was designed to allow our field people to collect large amounts of text and numeric data. Having to tap each key twice will not work.
We've examined the limited mouse and touch option in Windows 8.1 and nothing seems to help. So here are my questions:
Is there third party software that may improve on Windows 8.1 mouse customization? Synaptic maybe?
Is there a command line switch for the emulator we could add that would fix this problem?
Does anyone know of a method to fix this?
Thanks

I think the problem is in Windows 8 touchscreen API driver, I have tested this emulator with Win7 tablet, no problems with double click.
I've searched every place I could think of, but nobody seems to have had this issue or didn't bother asking about it.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 freshly with the gnome fallback shell. Everything works perfectly fine, except for one thing.
My WINE applications start on the wrong screen, this isn't really a big issue, but when I drag the window to my main screen, the mouse doesn't work on the application anymore. The app doesn't freeze, and is fully responsive to keyboard input, I just can't click on anything anymore.
My specs (relevant):
- NVidia Geforce 540M
- 1 laptop screen 1366x768
- 1 Samsung Syncmaster SA550 27" - 1920x1080
Thanks in advance!
Did you create the application on a resolution smaller then the current on your pc?
If so, do the following (I have a laptop with 1366x768 on the internal monitor and 1920x1080 on the external monitor):
Open winecfg
Check the Virtual Desktop checkbox and set the size to the largest resolution you are going to use
Start the app and check if it's working properly now (You can check that with the battlenet launcher :))
Start winecfg again and uncheck the Virtual Desktop box
