Our Favorite Windows 10 Shortcuts<\/strong><\/h1>\n

It’s been a long time since we’ve posted a list of Windows 10 shortcuts, so we thought it was about time to\u00a0 feature a list of our favorite Windows Shortcuts again.<\/p>\n

Shortcuts save you time, but only if you remember them. And you’ll only remember the ones you use.\u00a0 Windows Key + i and Windows Key + x are two that you should be using a lot. So you should remember them!\u00a0 Windows Key + X opens the so-called power menu (the same menu that you’ll see if\u00a0 right-click the start button), and Windows Key + i opens Settings.<\/p>\n

Here are some Windows 10 shortcuts we think you’ll find useful – some more than others, of course. These are the ones we use most often; we hope they will save you time too! The more you use a shortcut, the easier it is to remember. So try using keyboard shortcuts as often as you can. And remember, in Windows there are most always several ways to accomplish the same thing.<\/p>\n

Note: In the tip below we use Winkey to represent the Windows Key. The Windows Key is the key with the Windows logo on it, usually located on the bottom row of your keyboard just to the right of the Ctrl key or the second key to the right of the Ctrl key. The exact location varies with computer manufacturer, keyboards, laptops, desktops, etc.<\/p>\n
