I know when you read the title of this article, you went Oh No! not another article with keyboard shortcuts. I already know all the Windows shortcuts! But I beg to differ from you.

There are plenty of ways to navigate Windows 10, but sometimes using keyboard shortcuts is the most convenient and can save time and effort. You can click on the start button or tap it with your finger on a touchscreen to access the power controls or you can just hit the Windows button on the keyboard without lifting a hand.

The Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts are so easy that once you assign them to your memory, it will take just two clicks with your fingers to call out the menu you are looking for. Here are the best keyboard shortcuts, you’ll want to know.

Windows + X – A text version of the Start menu pops up in the lower left corner


Windows + Tab – Called Task View, this displays all active apps on a single screen


Windows + C – This summons Cortana, the speech activated Web search tool


Windows + Left arrow – Moves the current app or window, fully displayed, to the left side of the screen


Windows + Right arrow – Moves the current app or window, fully displayed, to the right side of the screen


Windows + Up arrow – Restores an app or windows to full screen


Windows + Down arrow – Minimizes an app or window or, if it’s already minimized, removes the app from the screen


Windows + D – Gets you to the desktop


Windows + Ctrl + D – Adds a virtual desktop


Windows + Ctrl + F4 – Close the virtual desktop you’re using


Windows + comma – Gets you a peek at the desktop that goes away when you release the keys

I liked Windows + C which calls Cortana without having to navigate the search box and Windows + Ctrl + F for searching other PCs on the network, the best of all.
