I'm back with 11 Common Windows Logo Key Shortcuts to help you use your computer faster and more effectively.

Previously, I've blogged about shortcuts here:

6 Windows Key Shortcuts

Today, I'm giving more shortcuts using the Windows Logo Key in combination with other keys that will enable you to execute numerous handy tasks such as launching Settings, File Explorer, the Run command, and apps pinned to the Taskbar.

There are other shortcuts using the Windows Logo key to open specific features like Narrator or Magnifier as well as creating and using a virtual desktop, but I'm not covering those since most of you probably don't use those items. You're probably more interested in managing windows, taking screenshots, locking the computer, etc.

TO DO THIS                                                            USE THIS COMBINATION OF KEYS
