    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

    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. 😊

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    #3: Windows key + D works best than Windows + M for showing the desktop, as it allows to restore the windows too. It just toggles between current state and desktop.
    #9: Don't do that instead of zooming in the app you're using to view the photos. This tool only makes pixels bigger, it doesn't show more detail. Essentially this shouldn't even be used for a picture.
    #10: Not working here. Not only there is no screenshot in my images folder, but I don't even know if it's been saved anywhere else, or what it's called, ot what file format was used. Which is why it's probably a bad idea to let Windows decide where a picture is saved, and what the file is called. Print Screen alone will save the screen to the clipboard (you can then Ctrl-V to paste it anywhere). Windows+Shift+S opens the snipping tool which is often more useful, copies the image in the clipboard and allows you to save it anywhere under the filename that you choose.
