Restoring Excel window with all tabs and commands
In my Windows 10 laptop, I have Excel installed as a part of MS Office 365 Pro Plus. Also, for productivity convenience, I use VirtuaWin which provides me multiple desktops where I keep different types of applications running.
If excel is running in one such desktop, and I switch to a different one, Excel loses all its menus and commands and I do not even see the ribbon to restore these buttons. This occurs every time the Desktops are switched, both by keyboard shortcut (which is my usual practice) or mouse clicking.
I could not find any keyboard shortcut to restore. Clicking on the top left icon, or right click on title bar just displays standard options like minimize, maximize, close etc. Please let me know if anyone has encountered such issue or knows of a solution.

I also use VirtuaWin and have the same trouble. I found the way to restore Excel's menus. After losing menus, open printing window by Ctrl+p and just cancel to go back to sheet view, then the menu will be restored.
I hope this trouble will be fixed soon.

How to quickly move current window to another task view / desktop in Windows 10?.
One user lists his
MoveToDesktop utility
that adds the shortcuts of
WIN+ALT+Left/Right,
as well as an addition to the right-click menu on the window's title.
Another listed tool is
Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Enhancer,
which is just a AutoHotkey script.
