Windows 10 desktop scrolling like osx?

Hi. i am coming from OSX to Windows 10 and on OSX, when you have multi monitors connected, you could scroll through different desktops on each monitor.

ie on monitor one i have two desktops:

chrome full screen
photoshop full screen

On Monitor two i could have another two:

lightroom full screen
Evernote full screen

In Osx, if my cursor is on monitor 1, i can scroll through chrome and photoshop desktops while monitor two stays how it is.

However, in Windows it kind of treats the above like this:

Chrome full screen > arranged in monitor 1
Photoshop full screen > arranged in monitor 1
Lightroom Full screen > arranged in monitor 2
Evernote full screen > arranged in monitor 2

so if my cursor is on monitor 1, and i scroll from chrome to photoshop, the 2nd monitor would also scroll to the next screen ie Evernote.

Is there a way to mimic the same behaviour as OSX?

Windows so almost hit the jackpot on multi desktop. but didnt quite. There was 3rd party paid software last i looked. It took until windows 8 for decent multi screen support and i think win10 for multiple desktop so...

windows 12 may have it then? lol

It's not so much the multiple desktops, it's how it's implemented that bothers me. If I add an additional desktop it's rooted on both screens. If I swipe to the next desktop then BOTH monitors change. Personally that irritates the hell out of me. In MacOS they're independent of each other.

This!
