Versions:
Move Window Between Desktops is a lightweight utility developed by FAI-Solutions, currently available in version 1.3 as the sole released version of the software. It belongs to the category of Windows desktop productivity tools, specifically addressing window and virtual desktop management. The software exists to close a functional gap in Microsoft's operating systems: while Windows 10 and Windows 11 allow users to switch between virtual desktops using the built-in Ctrl+Win+Arrow keyboard shortcuts, neither operating system includes a native shortcut for moving the currently active window from one virtual desktop to another. This utility fills that gap by enabling users to relocate the active window to the next or previous virtual desktop with a single hotkey, eliminating the need to manually drag windows between desktops through the Task View interface. The tool is designed for users who work extensively with multiple virtual desktops on Windows 10 or Windows 11, such as professionals who separate workspaces by project, task, or application type and need to reorganize their windows quickly without interrupting their workflow. Use cases include shifting a window to an adjacent desktop during multitasking sessions, consolidating windows across desktops, and generally streamlining window management in multi-desktop environments. Because the functionality is keyboard-driven, it supports fast, mouse-free operation and integrates naturally into shortcut-oriented workflows alongside the operating system's existing virtual desktop hotkeys. The software is implemented as a script, reflecting its focused, minimal approach: it does one specific thing—moving the active window between desktops—rather than attempting to be a full window manager. According to the publisher's description, it provides a feature that Microsoft arguably should have included in the operating system long ago. Move Window Between Desktops version 1.3 is published by FAI-Solutions and is compatible with both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
