I have two machines, both windows 10, I'm remoted into one machine. On the local machine I have multiple workspaces and can switch between them using Ctrl + Win + left/right arrows, really snazzy.
However if I get into a full screen remote desktop session, then its workspaces want to take over; I can't find a way to disable this and allow me to control my local workspaces, any more. Nor am I finding any shortcut keys that allow me to push the windows key locally.
Am I missing something, or did Microsoft not really think about this use case?

1If the remote desktop session is NOT full screen, then the inputs will go to the local session. If the Remote Desktop session is full-screen, then the inputs go to the remote session. I think of the full-screen mode as a "modal dialog" mode, so in this case it makes sense that the input gets directed to the remote session. – cdavid – 2016-01-05T01:52:17.443
@cdavid yeah, I was afraid of that, there are SOME special host shortcut keys that you can access the local session while in the remote session (such as the full screen shortcut key). I was hoping that Microsoft put something in for workspaces or a 3rd party tool that I could use... – StrangeWill – 2016-01-12T17:09:10.480
