It’s been a long time since we’ve posted a list of Windows key shortcuts. We love shortcuts -they’re time-savers. So we thought it was time we provided you with an updated list of our favorite Windows key shortcuts for Windows 10 and Windows 11.<\/span><\/p>\n Shortcuts save you time, but only if you remember them. And you’ll only remember the ones you use. Windows Key + i and Windows Key + x are two that you should be using a lot. So you should remember them! Windows Key + X opens the so-called power menu (the same menu that you’ll see if right-click the start button), and Windows Key + i opens Settings.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some Windows key shortcuts we think you’ll find useful – some more than others, of course. The more you use Windows key shortcuts, the more you’ll like them. The more you use certain Windows key shortcuts, the easier they are to remember.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Windows Key Shortcuts for Windows 10 and Windows 11<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Winkey Opens the Start menu<\/span> An Updated List of Windows Key Shortcuts for Windows 10 and Windows 11 It’s been a long time since we’ve posted a list of Windows key shortcuts.

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 on laptops just to the right of the Fn key.\u00a0 The exact location varies by the computer manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n
