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
