Thanks for subscribing to our newsletter! As promised, here is a list of shortcuts for your Windows machine:

The Control Key:

The Windows Key:

The Windows Logo Key all by itself will bring up the “Start” menu. You know, the icon you tap when you want to cleanly shut your machine down.
Windows Key + D will show you the Desktop.
Windows Key + E will bring up your Windows Explorer page so you can see how much space you have left on your machine and where all of your files are.
Windows Key + L will lock your screen. You’ll need to log in again, but all your open Windows will still be there.
Windows Key + M will minimize all of your open Windows. This is also known as the “Boss” key!
Windows Key + T will cycle through your running programs on the taskbar.
Windows Key + Space Bar will show your Desktop for as long as you press down the Windows key.
Windows Key + a number will bring up the program pinned to the taskbar in the position indicated by the number. (Note that this is similar to the ALT+Tab shortcut in that it brings you to another Window.)
Windows Key + Tab will cycle through your open programs using 3D. (Try that one. It’s pretty cool!)
Windows Key + Home will minimize all your open windows except the one you’re currently working on.
