Windows 10 Keyboard Shortcuts Windows Show the Windows 10 Start Menu Windows + Tab Launch Windows 10 Task View Windows + Q Search the web and Windows with Cortana (speech) Windows + S Search the web and Windows with Cortana (keyboard input) Windows + I Open Windows 10 settings Windows + A Open Windows 10 notifications Windows + L Lock your Windows 10 device Windows + Ctrl + D Create new virtual desktop Windows + Ctrl + F4 Close current virtual desktop Windows + Ctrl + [Left][Right] Switch between virtual desktops Windows + [Left][Right][Up][Down] Position windows on your screen E.g. Windows + [Left] moves the current window to the left half of your screen. If you use Windows + [Up] afterwards, the current window will be placed in the upper left quarter of your screen. And, what’s very handy in my opinion: If you release the Windows key after positioning a window, Task View shows up on the opposite side of the positioned window to select and position another app. Windows + H Share content (if supported by current app) Windows + K Connect to wireless displays and audio devices Windows + X Open Start button context menu Windows + G Opens the Windows 10 Game Bar to take game screenshots and record gaming videos of Windows 10 games (works in any game app, e.g. Microsoft Solitaire Collection) Windows + D Show Windows desktop Windows + E Open Windows Explorer Windows + Space Switch keyboard input language (if you have added at least a second one) Windows + Shift + [Left][Right] Move current Window from one monitor to another (when using a multiple monitor setup) Windows + [1][2][3][…] Open programs that are pinned to task bar E.g. if first pinned program on your task bar is Windows Explorer (from left to right), the shortcut Windows + 1 opens Windows Explorer for you. Windows + R Run a command Windows + P Project a screen Alt + Tab Switch to previous window Alt + Space Restore, move, size, minimize, maximize or close current window. Also works like a charm for Windows 10 modern apps. Alt + F4 a) Close current window b) If you’re on your Windows 10 desktop, open Power dialogue to shut down or restart Windows, put your device in sleep mode, sign out or switch the current user
