Updated List of Windows Key Shortcuts for Windows 10<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Windows<\/span><\/p>\n

Windows Key shortcuts are so useful and such easy and friendly time savers, we like to do remind you about them every so often so you don\u2019t forget them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where oh where is the Windows Key? We have had people ask us where the Windows Key is; until then, we thought everyone knew where it was. We\u2019re guessing if you\u2019re one of the many who never uses the Windows Key, you might not know where it is. In the screenshot above, you can see the Windows Key \u2013 right beneath the Z key and right to the left of the Alt key. On laptops, it is usually between the Fn key and the Alt key. On desktops, it\u2019s usually between the Ctrl key and the Alt key. It\u2019s almost always on the bottom row of your keyboard \u2013 that\u2019s the row with the space-bar on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a list of Windows keyboard shortcuts updated for Windows 10. Some will only work on Windows 10, others will work on almost any version of Windows. The shortcuts are written with a plus sign to indicate you have to press the Windows Key PLUS another key, for instance, Windows Key+A means to press and hold down the Windows Key and press the A key. Got it? OK great!<\/span><\/p>\n

This list has been updated for Windows 10 Version 2004 (May 2020 Update).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
