A Windows DLL (with a companion Rust crate `winvd`) exposing functions to programmatically access Windows 10/11 Virtual Desktop features, such as switching desktops, moving windows, pinning apps, and renaming desktops. It is primarily intended to be called from scripting tools like AutoHotkey.

Use cases

  • switch virtual desktops from autohotkey
  • move a window to another virtual desktop programmatically
  • get the current virtual desktop number on windows 11
  • pin a window so it shows on all desktops
  • create and remove virtual desktops via script
  • rename virtual desktops from a script

When to choose

  • you want to script Windows virtual desktop control from AutoHotkey or another FFI-capable language
  • you need a small MIT-licensed DLL rather than a full application
  • you are building Rust tooling around virtual desktops via the winvd crate

When to avoid

  • you need cross-platform virtual desktop management (Windows only)
  • you want a ready-made GUI app rather than a library/DLL
  • you run an older Windows build than the required 24H2 version
