Windows 10: Auto start programs on virtual desktops?

I have a lot of different workflows and it is pretty tedious to setup the most common ones which always need to be ready, every time I reboot. Is there a way to have programs that auto start on boot to launch on those virtual desktops automatically? It is pretty annoying to move all the applications to where they need to be.

Programs open in wrong Virtual Desktop

I have a written a program which enhances Windows 10 desktops and works around this issue for you by detecting the switch to a new desktop to open the existing document and then open of a new document - it then moves it back where it belongs.

Virtual Desktop Grid Switcher

Full set of features are:

• Windows 10 Desktop Switcher using a grid layout
• Switch desktops using arrow keys with configurable modifier keys
• Move active window to another desktop using keyboard
• Make windows Always on Top or Sticky using keyboard
• Activate last active window when switch from empty desktop (Windows 10 bug)
• Chrome/Firefox activation to make web links open on same desktop if window exists
• Word/Excel new window detected and moved back to current desktop if auto-switched

Enjoy!

Virtual desktops

In the article you linked it says talks about 4 goals Microsoft has with virtual desktops:

• Give you more desktop space to group related windows
• Help you quickly locate and switch to any window or group of windows
• Let you easily re-organize your groups and move windows as tasks evolve
• Keep you in control of the degree of separation between your grouped windows

Not being able to control what desktop the program opens on really doesn't fit in with these goals.

Give me one good reason for why it is suppose force me to change virtual desktop when I open a program, just one good reason and I will consider to drop the issue. To me this sounds like virtual desktops isn't ready yet and you refuse to acknowledge that
there are bugs, because this makes it very hard to work with multiply virtual desktops.
