Why would I want to use the multi-desktop functionality in Windows 11?
In Windows 11 there's a button on the taskbar next to the start button that lets you switch between multiple desktop environments. It seems like something that would probably be useful in theory, but I can't think of any reason why I would want to use it. Is it actually useful? What do people use it for?

I've had cases where a game crashed and I couldn't open any other window including the task manager. I could alt tab to it, but when I try opening it it would instantly revert back to the crashed game. But if you move task manager to another desktop and switch to that desktop, you can force close the crashed game. Pretty much a fringe case and I've never found another reason to use this feature personally.
I had this exact experience less than two weeks ago.
I have task manager forced front, so even if my game shits the bed the task manager will always appear in front of it.
Oh my God please tell me how to do this
Modded Minecraft frequently shits bricks.
Open task manager
Top bar, Options, click Always on Top
If you don't want shit bricks why did you mod Minecraft?
Because chance cube
Edit: I wooooshed myself
Did you use Ctrl + Shift + Esc to directly open Task Manager? If so, you may get different results with Ctrl + Alt + Del and choosing it from the manager. C/S/E asks for the manager, C/A/D demands it. I can't promise the game won't still override it but a fun fact either way
Ctrl-Shift-Esc for the win, love that shortcut. Right up there with Alt-Tab and Windows/Cmd-X
