How to automate your desktop layout with PowerToys Workspaces on Windows 11 and create a one-click app layout

PowerToys Workstations settings.

If you rely on the same group of apps to start your day or move between tasks on Windows 11, PowerToys Workspaces can automate the entire setup. The feature streamlines your environment by launching and arranging your frequently used apps exactly the way you want.

Workspaces is a feature designed for users who want a faster and more consistent desktop experience. Instead of opening the same programs every morning or constantly shuffling windows into place, you can trigger a complete layout with a single click. You decide which apps open, how they open, and where they appear on the screen, creating a repeatable workspace you can use for any activity.
