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?
I use most of them
I ues some shortcuts when i write in french to put this alphabet ( é, è, ê .....)
Alt + Tab it's my most used hotkey. However, those others at the video will help me alot!
I feel like a pro now 😂😂 Tysm Brightside
Do I have any hot keys to make a video of our task?
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
Thank u dude
You're one of the good guys!! TY
isn't print screen on its own sufficient?
Cool but shouldn't switch between virtual desktops be [Windows key] + [Ctrl]+[Left Arrow] or [Right Arrow]
Great job man. Long live. You should get a nobel peace prize.
Who did Ctrl+ Windows button+ D then lost the video? 😂😂
xD
win ctrl
me too hahaha and after finding this video again the next short cuts are useful for a bunch of added desktop I made
Umm
:D I did. :p
I just want to say I appreciate you getting directly to the point in your tutorial. You've made it clear, concise and easy to learn. Gratitude.
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!_
Yeah veeeery useful...
just want to say I appreciate you getting directly to the point in your tutorial. You've made it clear, concise and easy to learn. Gratitude.
EACH AND EVERY SHORTCUT KEYS SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO WERE SO IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING FOR ME, THANK YOU.
On youtube
F for full-screen
T for theater
I for small icon view
M for mute
C for captions
Left arrow for 5 sec > fast forward
K or space bar for Play/Pause
and numbers 1 through 9 for seeking a track
0 to restart, hope this helps everyone!!
I may have missed a few.
wow
J is 10 sec back and L is 10 sec forwards
u can use space bar to Play/Pause also
Aimen Asad they already said that
Dude! Thanks! I only new about the left and right arrows. I didn't know any of those others. Cool.
Me: Watches this video
Also me: Forgets these while using pc.
same bro
Samee as yours
True!
Use ShortKeeper with the Enterpad and don't need to remember ;)
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
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.
When you accidentally close a tab on a browser, ctrl + shift + t reopens the last closed tab
just go to history and yall find mia khalifa
This is something unique
That worked!! Thanks tho :")
@@kimifrost8602 The tab you close isn't necessarily the last site you visited and you may not necessarily remember the page you closed. It's more efficient and generally a lot easier to just remember this shortcut.
Also Ctrl + t = open new tab
Ctrl + w = close the tab
Ctrl + tab = switched tab to your right
Or let say you have 9 tabs open and you want to get to the 5th tab all you do is Ctrl + 5
These only work on internet
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.
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 :)
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.
I knew a lot of shortcuts but some of them where new to me and blew my mind.
Thank's for sharing this.
Hi
This is great. I've been missing out. Will have to go back over this useful information to really absorb all of.

F3 : search
F4 : ALT + F4 (shut down)
F5 : refresh
F6 : highlight address bar
F7 : check spelling
F8 : boot menu

F10 : Shift+ F10( right click) or
Activate menu bar in Ms word
F11 : Full screen
F12 : Save as
• Win + I = Open Settings
• Ctrl + F5 = Super Refresh
• Fn + F2 = Rename
• Windows + CTRL + D = Add a virtual desktop
• Windows + CTRL + Left or Right Arrow Keys = Move between them
• Windows + CTRL + F4 = Close virtual desktop
The ctrl+windows+d is an ultimate level of hiding something 😂😂
actually not if u use laptop
What does ctrl+windows+d do

@@petrosss thanks
Yeah bro yeah😅🤣
2:35 if you want the counter key of Windows logo + M and you want to get all apps back then press Windows + Shift + M
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
that was pretty handy! as you asked i personally like the alt + tab feature, that really helped me with my navigation through diffrent tabs and windows!
Windows button+left or right arrow is great! Thank you for your help!
ctrl+c && ctrl+v for during online class for typing answers
Lol and HEY FELLOW ARMY
ARMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Gaming Zack
It....was a joke....
@Gaming Zack Yes Right
Also alt+f4
U r life saver. I was unable to take screenshot during my class but now I can coz of u. Thank u so much🙏
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
Next step: Go randomly combining Keys like a Keyboard-Alchemist (The bases for most equation being WinKey, Ctrl, Tab, Shift, Alt, Home, End, Esc and Tilda Key ;) )
Taking screenshots, access settings, lockdown screen, returning to desktop from the apps. These helped me a lot.
you can also take crop screenshot by pressing win key + shift + s
Thanks very useful, I use the standard keyboard shortcuts mostly. Ctrl+Z or X or C or V then the Print screen. Very helpful as you get older.
Haven't had a chance to try them yet, but thank you for some great tips, easy to understand!

At "screenshot" (tip 10 at 7:41) you missed the extremely handy Windows+Shift+S that lets you select a part of the screen without the distracting surroundings. You also omitted the Alt+PrtScr that copies only the active window into the clipboard. That is very useful with dialog boxes and error messages you might want to pass on.
yeeees
I use this more than anything tbh. Once my ex showed me the black magic that is Windows+Shift+S, I could never stop using it, ever, whatsoever. Now if only we had that for capturing a video clip within a selected window just the same.
Tysm i have just been using snipping tool!
The snipping tool
Hi what is save as Short key
Thanks some great shortcuts Sir. I use Windows Key, Shift + s = a quick way to open Snip & Sketch.
Computer shortcuts highly facilitates a user to type or navigate easily.FANTASTIC SHORTCUTS.
Just love the switching between Virtual Desktops thingy🖤🖤🖤
I feel five times as intelligent now
@Wenyu Shi cbu
hahahah me too
If your intelligence is x, then it's 5 times is 5×x=5x.
But 5×0=0
Then how your intelligence boosted up 5 times... Bcoz 0×anything is 0
@@PriyanshuShil_ hahah thats funny
I found double advantage to prank my friends and become smart in front of them
Thx for sharing your thoughts & experiences
very informative, i could actually use these keys now in my daily workday.
ON 5,
Also
Click WINDOWS + UP ARROW TO MAXIMIZE THE Selected tab
and WINDOWS+ DOWN to revert from full screen❤
how will you restore the hidden apps back
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
Me too
the best one for me is the windows key+ g which i now use the most... thank you bright side... you are the best
I use Windows key + X to access many different things quickly the most.
2:35: win+d works aswell
3:24 win+0 works aswell
4:00 win+up arrow/down arrow to fullscreen
4:39 alt+tab is all you need
I liked the feature or shortcut of creating a virtual desktop. Thankyou so much buddy
Task Manager ---> Ctrl+ Shift + Esc
Open File Explorer ---> WINDOWS + E
Use the Magnifier ---> Ctrl & + or -
Take screenshots ---> WINDOWS + prt screen
Use Action Center ---> WINDOWS + A
Access the Settings ---> WINDOWS + I
Use the Windows Game Bar ---> WINDOWS + G
Lock down your PC ---> WINDOWS + L
WINDOWS = START KEY
For task manager - you can use Ctrl+Alt+del key..
That video was very helpfull! Thank you Bright Side!😉👍
Nothing but gratitude for your help with my keyboard knowledge & skills 👍👍👍
Very nice video...have been using Windows key for so years but didn't know it could do so many things
i immediately tried the first shortcut, bout new clean desktops, w/o knowing how to return. LOL hahaha
Good thing, you can hear the number 2 shortcut. LOL
same here....just do ctrl+shift+esc
I did this too, repeatedly. I ended up with about 20 desktops.

you just wasted your time coz bright side already listed them in description
Thanks. I especially like the fact that for most actions you give instructions on how to "undo" what you just done when finished. Nothing worse than getting to some place you cant figure how to reverse out of... it is the complete instruction "how to do it and how to go back/undo it".
thankfully a majority of this can be done with hot keys on a mouse with more than the usual 2 buttons and wheel. Windows key and period opens the symbols and emoticons is a favorite of mine i stumbled across
I get lost in all my searching and social stuff. These hot keys are mostly all new to me. It's going to save a ton of time. Thanks for the info. 👍 I di believe I'm going to enjoy split screen the most!
Win + Shift + S
Select a rectangle on the screen and it will be saved as a picture in clipboard. Then just Ctrl+V it into word file or whatever.
The one that saves my life daily.
thanks alot, have been printscreeing my whole life and cropping
Is that basically a Windows shortcut for the snip tool? 😱 If so that's really useful thanks!
I use a program called ShareX which is basically the same as this except for one crucial difference. The screenshot is privately uploaded to imgur and the link is coped in your clipboard. Useful if you need to quickly share snippets online.
Truth be told I didn't know about this one though. This is useful for directly sharing an image if I can paste it into something like Microsoft Word or Discord or something! Thanks.
@@laurahulland Even better. With Win+Shift+S you can snip any shape snippit
The WIndows - Ctrl - Left / Right Shortcut helps me alot, Thanks
F4 - This powerfull keys helps a lot while working in Excel sheet.... Its repeat last action and helps me a lot to work faster on Excels
Me: *Almost finishes chrome dinosaur game*
Game: *freezes*
Ctrl Shift Esc: Allow me to introduce myself.
When the video was uploaded 2 minutes ago and you already see comments like "This is really helpful" but the video is 12 minutes long
Hahahaha
Sreeram Kumar what if someone saw the first shortcut and thought it was super helpful?
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL tnx for this video
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL You guys are awesome!
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL thanks for supporting me I just look at the thumbnail and I skip for the shortcuts instead of watching the whole video
Thanks so much for this video. It's going be most helpful
Thanks for for all this short cut
ctrl+c , ctrl+v
is what i use most
Yep, copy and paste
Especially when you have to write an essay... if you know what i mean ;)
i use Alt+Tab most
Alt+Tab and Win+L
ctrl + x , ctrl + y
Undo Redo
This is the most hottest and commonly shortcut I used in windows 👌:
Alt + Tab => to switch between apps
win + L => to -logout- lock the screen.
win + D => I think is doing the same as win + M no difference!!
win + R => to open run command win
Alt + F4 => to close the app
the stuff you mention is really interested and I will start use it now. 😊
WIN + L won't log you out, but lock the computer
4:09 You can also just move the window to the top of your screen and hover it over the left side bar on one of the options, then click the right side to put the source on the right. No hot keys required!
Thanks a lot for sharing little detail hacks.
Wow thank you so much for your generosity, we often neglect all those short cut and we even don't know that it exists.
Thank you so much! I learned a lot today.
all were amazing tysm this is easier for my classes
Just wanted to say Thank you! This truly "brightened" up my day 🤣
This is the first time ever, that videos like this was useful.
I'm glad when *invinciblehack50*on lnstagram got back my deleted lnstagram account back permanently in no time thanks man💯💯💯
@@marrydavita9488 who the fu** asked🤔
CTRL+ALT+DEL was always how I'd open Task Manager, never heard of CTRL+SHIFT+ESC before ... look ma, ONE HAND!
yes but ctrl alt del could also be done one handed
Ctrl+Alt+Del now triggers the Security Options menu, so Ctrl+Shift+Esc now has the added bonus of bypassing that.
@@AJHadley yup agree that's the difference, but I was pointing out single-handedness
right click on a free space in your taskbar and you can open it via the menu appearing :)
@@ashyxt - I think you mean ctrl shift esc can be hit one-handed. Plus, ctrl alt del brings up a menu of choices, of which the Task Manager is one. CSE brings you directly to the Task Manager, no extra steps.
Very informative, I think 🤔 am heading towards the bright side of life. Thanks 🥰
(MAS TechBD)Thank you very much for sharing these essential steps I am really thankful. Knowing all these fast functions of the keyboard makes my life easier since I am a student and most of my time I am using my laptop.
nowadays no one needs teacher or school. all knowledge is in youtube
You are on youtube! ;)
Yep I accept it
The most versatile I found to make screenshots is: 'shift + windows key + S'. You get several options at ones in the top of your screen. Here you can select different ways of selecting a square piece or the window you click. On top of that it doesn't save, but you can paste it anywhere (by clock 'ctrl + V' or click right mouse button and paste in Word or Paint for example). Another similar app that's build into windows is called the 'Snipping Tool'. With these tools you basically have everything you need for making screenshots or screenshots of specific parts.
TNHODA I was so glad when I got 1btc through lulzsec_hack
A few caveats: The Snipping Tool is deprecated, so it might be removed in a future Windows update. And if you have OneNote 2016 installed, it somewhat interferes with Win + Shift + S. It still behaves more or less the same way but you don't get the options at the top of the screen to change the clipping shape; hopefully this will be addressed in an update soon.
@@jameslarry2293 I like how your comment makes so much sense :p
@@abigailwigglebottoms1775 Snipping tool is the best for crop screenshot, before I used to do print screen, open paint, crop and save. Snipping toll does it all.
I appreciate all of them ❤
Very exciting teaching. All are very useful tips.
Thank you
I feel like they got some guy to say every pronounceable sound and routed it into an AI to put together the audio into conceivable English, because this guy is a robot, what a champ!
No way is this guy actually a robot?
Thank you, very helpful!!
Fantastic😍, Thank you soo much☺️ for sharing such a most useful things 👍
Windows logo key + T is also for switching apps pinned to the taskbar. The left and right arrow keys help in navigating after that.
this was new one
@@Satyanarayan051, you can also just hold down the tab key and press tab key to move between apps
On Windows you also have Win+Shift+S for snipping tool (cut a screenshot from your current screen) and Win+; for an emoji keyboard.
Neither of those worked for me. Win + Prt Scn didn't do anything either. Still using Win 7 Ultimate. Not going to change until it's dead next year, then I'm going to Linux.
Thank you for doing this video - I feel so smart now!!
That's really great.. previously I was using two key combination.. but this one will really help me to fast n be easy with work
let me guess COPY and PASTE
TYYY tip 5 helped me so much, now i can play while looking at yt and dont have to switch
Ctrl + N opens a new instance of pretty much any window you have active. In case of File Explorer the new instance is opened in the same pathway as the original. Makes navigating to a nearby location a bit easier.
Ctrl + Shift + N for a new folder
i love the split screen because it helps me so much and i all like the instant lock
actually most of features are easily available now on windows 11, but still this video is useful specially that screen recording short cut, thank you!
Windows key + Shift + S
Lets you screenshot a part of the screen and automatically copies it. You can just paste it anywhere afterwards (like printscreen key).
Thx :))
yes, i use this
Thank you!this is for my assignment but im not doing it right now cause idunno how to acreenshot but i see this

@BRIGHT SIDE Great information , Keep going. most people don't know this shortcuts and this video very helpful for them.
CTRC + ESC to open start menu if your keyboard don't have the windows key;
Windows + D, shows the desktop (not quite minimizing all), Windows + D again, to go back (not quite maximizing all);
Windows + R for the RUN windows, the best short ever;
Windows + T to focus the task bar icons, after releasing the windows + t key, you can use arrow left right to navigate, tab to go to the system bar;
those are for windows 10, most, but not all, work on previous version til winXP
Windows + R for the RUN windows, the best short ever; win + R "cmd" Ctlr+shift+enter Runs as admin.
