"To get to a workspace in no time, save it as a desktop shortcut and pin it to the taskbar."
"Before you can use the utility, you must turn on Workspaces in your PowerToys settings. With that done, hit "Launch editor" in the Workspaces settings or press Win+Ctrl+` on the keyboard to bring up the editor. Clicking "+ Create workspace" will capture your current desktop layout."
"You can also launch an app in a workspace as an admin."
"The tool intelligently handles open apps. Instead of launching duplicates, it repositions existing windows to match your saved layout. And if you're using multiple monitors, Workspaces remembers which screen each app belongs on."

To remove any app from the list, select it and click Remove. For each app, click the dropdown arrow to access advanced options."
