Useful keystrokes?

Kevin, I use some of these regularly, but it occurs to me that these pre-existing keystrokes may be worth mentioning to others.

 

 

Here are the 9 most important keyboard shortcuts in the Windows key alphabet:

 

Windows key + A: Opens the Action Center, where you can access quick settings and notifications.

 

Windows key + B: Show hidden icons on the taskbar.

 

Windows key + C: Opens Microsoft Teams Chat (personal).

 

Windows key + D: Minimizes all your open windows and shows your desktop. This can help if you need to quickly access files or shortcuts that are on your desktop.

 

Windows key + E: Opens File Explorer, where you can navigate directly to the files or folders you need.

 

Windows key + I: Opens the Settings app, where you can customize your Windows settings.

 

Windows key + L: Locks your Windows PC and takes you to the login screen that you see when your PC turns on. This is a good way to secure your PC if you need to step away for a moment.

 

Windows key + R: Opens the Run dialog box, where you can quickly run a command.

 

Windows key + S: Opens Search, which you can use to find files, apps, and settings on your Windows PC.

 

Windows key + X: Opens the Quick Link menu, where you can quickly access various Windows system tools and settings.
