Description of the new feature / enhancement
When the computer starts up, the new feature should launch user-defined applications on specific Windows virtual desktops.
Scenario when this would be used?
My job involves interacting with a large number of programs. 28 to be exact.
I sorted these programs by purpose and allocated a desktop for each purpose. For example, one desktop is responsible for working with graphics, another contains tools for debugging program code, a third for multimedia and entertainment, a fourth for working with AI, etc.
At the beginning of the working day, I spend a lot of time launching applications and sorting them into desktops. On macOS for example, this functionality is built into the OS, all you have to do is click the "Launch open apps next time you turn on" checkbox when you turn off your computer.
I know about the hibernation function, but it doesn't allow you to restart your computer.
Now I use the VDesk program, but it often does not work correctly.
Supporting information
As I mentioned earlier, there's a program called VDesk that doesn't have an interface. It works through the command line.
Here is an example of how it works (from my script):
timeout 3 vdesk on:1 run:explorer "F:\Users\User01\Documents\Links\Visual Studio Code.lnk" timeout 3 vdesk on:2 run:explorer "F:\Users\User01\Documents\Links\Outlook.lnk" timeout 3 vdesk on:3 run:explorer "F:\Users\User01\Documents\Links\Far Manager 3 (x64).lnk"
