I want to create an automation that used keyboard shortcuts and mouse clicks on the screen to complete the process. I want the automation to run in the background on my laptop. Can this be achieved using the Windows Virtual Desktop on Windows 10?
Can I create a new desktop and let the automation run on that and continue a different on my current desktop?
You can use Virtual Machine to get a virtual desktop, but to get virtual mouse and keyboard you have to use softwares like MouseMux (in beta version).
You will have to attach a separate mouse and keyboard to be used in virtual machine as virtual mouse and keyboard. They will perform mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts.
