Shortcuts Using the Windows Key

Shortcuts Using the Windows Key

You can happily operate a Windows PC without ever touching the special Windows key on Microsoft and other keyboards. However it provides many useful shortcuts that are worth knowing and if your mouse fails it can be a life saver.

On all versions of Windows simply press (and release) the Windows key to bring up the Start menu. Use the Arrow keys to make your choice then press Enter. The 'Esc' key will close the menu if you change your mind.

For the rest of these short-cuts, hold down the Windows key and press the key shown.
