How to detect which windows desktop I'm on in python3?

Question

In Windows 10 you can create multiple desktops and switch between them. I want to run a python3 code when I am on a certain desktop. How do I detect which desktop I'm on?

Answer 1

Download the VirtualDesktopAccessor.dll from here and put it in your working directory.

Run the following code:

import ctypes

vda = ctypes.WinDLL("VirtualDesktopAccessor.dll")
num = vda.GetCurrentDesktopNumber()
print(num)
