SUMMARY:
- Press the Windows key + Ctrl + D or Control + Up if you use a Mac. It’ll switch to a new fresh desktop.
- Push the Windows key + Ctrl or the Control key on a Mac. Now you can switch between all the virtual desktops you’ve made by using the left and right arrow keys.
- If you have too many apps open and you need to use another one hidden behind all those windows on your desktop, you can minimize all of them at once by pushing the Windows key + M.
- If you want much faster access to your most used apps, consider keeping them on your taskbar. It’ll speed up your workflow even more if you use the following combination: the Windows key + a number key from 1 to 9.
- Open one app that you need for your work and press the Windows key + left arrow. Then, open another app and click the Windows key + right arrow. Now, two windows are sharing your screen!
- Pressing Ctrl + Alt + Tab will show you all the apps currently running on your PC.
- To avoid restarting your device and losing all your progress, try using the following combo: Ctrl + Shift + Esc or Command + Option + Escape if you’re working on a Mac.
- Pressing the Windows key + E opens the file manager window on your PC. For Mac users, this is your Finder app.
- The Windows key combined with the + or - key will open the magnifier app, which allows you to zoom in and out wherever you point your cursor.
- Use the Windows key + Print Screen to take a screenshot and immediately save it in the Image folder on your hard drive.
- To open Bluetooth, simultaneously press the Windows key + A. For Mac users, your Notification Center is always a click away in the top right-hand corner.
- If you need more tweaking or access to more advanced parameters of your PC, you can have it all! Use the Windows key + I to do just that.
- To open Cortana on Windows in listening mode, press the Windows key + C. And to summon Siri on Mac OS, hold Command and Space together. “Hey, Siri!”
- If you suddenly need to step away from the computer but you don’t want anyone meddling in your stuff, you can quickly lock your user profile. Simply push the Windows key + L or Shift + Command + Q on a Mac.

Hey guys, which shortcuts are the ones you use more often?
-
Long story short: Windows key + Ctrl + D = new desktop Windows key + Ctrl = switch between virtual desktops Windows key + M = minimize all apps Windows key + a number key from 1 to 9 = open app from taskbar Windows key + left/right arrow = arrange app on left/right half of the screen Ctrl + Alt + Tab = all the apps currently running Ctrl + Shift + Esc = task manager Windows key + E opens the file explorer Windows key + "+" or "-" = magnifier Windows key + Print Screen = take a screenshot Windows key + A = Notification Center Windows key + I = opens Settings Windows key + L = lock your profile

Hey, I watched this video for the second time a few months later and noticed that I now use most of these shortcuts. Helped a lot!

Extremely useful Most users go through life without using any shortcuts and avoiding advanced config. They are missing out. Thanks for sharing!
-
I've got to say your videos are extremely useful. People think of myself as someone who knows computers and I didn't know about most of these.
-
EACH AND EVERY SHORTCUT KEYS SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO WERE SO IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING FOR ME, THANK YOU.
-
Who did Ctrl+ Windows button+ D then lost the video? 😂😂
-
wow I didn't know most of these, i paused to try out almost all of these. Finally I know an easier way to navigate through all my programs AND do side by side! also some extra shortcuts and alternatives: on windows: windows button + D to go the desktop, press it again and your back to whatever app/browser/program you were using. on windows: to copy (ctrl + c) and to past (ctrl +v) on windows: to undo (ctrl +z )to redo (ctrl +y) or (ctrl +alt+z) windows alternate for task manager: crtl,+alt +delete also if you use a mouse, if you hit ctrl and then scroll the mouse wheel it will zoom in and out, just as it would if you have a laptop/touchscreen that can be pinched.

Very worthwhile. Thank you for putting the text in the header, for those of us who did not take notes, nor have a perfect memory
-
Windows button+left or right arrow is great! Thank you for your help!
-
I knew a lot of shortcuts but some of them where new to me and blew my mind. Thank's for sharing this.
-
Thanks for the timely video on shortcuts. I had previously used 6 (switch apps) , 14 (game bar and record) and 15 (lock pc); thanks for the others.
-
Thank you for this video! For the longest time, I had no idea which keys cause the desktop to suddenly clear out. It didn't happen often (as I never intentionally pushed the Win with Ctrl + D, only by accident - and, of course, almost always on boss fights...), but it was annyoing nonetheless. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :D
-
the fifth one is actually really helpful cause i work with more than just 1 tab and its a pain jumping from one tab to another
-
That video was very helpfull! Thank you Bright Side!😉👍
-
I'm using mac air for over 3-4 years now and I didn't get to know these things which the bright side taught me today now. I paused the video and tried every single one of them' and they worked. Thanks Bright Side :)
-
Thank you so much, this video really helped me specially the split screen. It was really tiring to go back and forth between 2 apps
