This is a common problem 1. This is a common problem Yes, this is a common problem when working with multiple virtual desktops and applications like Chrome are configured to open on a specific desktop. When you click the Chrome icon in the taskbar or on the desktop, it's normal for it to take you to the desktop where Chrome is open. This is the expected behavior, but it can be disruptive if you're working on a different desktop. The blinking Chrome icon can also be a distraction, especially if you're working on a document or task that requires your attention. 2. **Turn off Chrome notifications**: You can disable Chrome notifications to avoid distractions. You can do this by going to Chrome's settings and then turning off notifications for the websites you visit. 3. **Use Safe Mode or Configure Windows Notification Settings**: You can launch Chrome in Safe Mode (or Headless Mode) to prevent notifications from appearing on the screen. You can configure Windows notification settings to prevent Chrome notifications from appearing on the screen when you are working on another desktop. I hope these suggestions help you minimize distractions and improve your productivity.
