If you already know the basics, here are a few advanced shortcuts that can make you feel like a pro:

  • Windows + X – Opens the Quick Link menu (for settings, device manager, etc.)
  • Windows + Shift + S – Takes a snip of your screen (great for screenshots).
  • Windows + V – Opens the clipboard history.
  • Ctrl + Shift + Esc – Opens Task Manager directly.
  • Windows + Ctrl + D – Creates a new virtual desktop.
  • Windows + Ctrl + Arrow Left/Right – Switch between desktops.

These shortcuts are incredibly useful for multitasking or troubleshooting — especially for IT professionals or anyone managing multiple tasks at once.
