Productivity Hacks - Windows 10 Keyboard Shortcuts You Probably Don't know about

in technology •  7 years ago  (edited)

Windows 10 was originally designed for touchscreen devices, but Microsoft is very much aware of its PC users who still enjoy using their keywords.

The emergence of WIndows 10 was a breath of fresh for many (myself included), It comes with Cortana, the resurrected Start Menu and new awesome Gaming features. It is a massive upgrade from Windows 8.

Here are some essential keyboard shortcuts that I use regularly, and they save me a lot of time.


Windows Key + A to launch the Action centre

The action centre holds notifications you might have missed, it also has a number of useful shortcuts at the bottom. It is a little box containing all the necessary updates, notifications that you’ll find really useful.

Three fingers

  • Three-finger swipe down: Show desktop
  • Three-finger flick left or right: Return to previous app (left) or go back to current app (right)
  • Three-finger tap: Opens Cortana Search

Windows Key + Left or Right: Snap active window to left or right side of the screen

Windows key + Control D: Creates new virtual desktop

Windows Key + Control + F4: Closes current virtual desktop

There are ton of other shortcuts available here
