How to use shortcuts for Windows 10

Maybe you noticed that you could use shortcuts with Windows 10, but did you know that you can for example restart GPU (Graphics card) or close all apps. In this blog you can learn new shortcuts that can save you some minutes or make better experience with Windows 10. Here are 15 shortcuts.

Copy: Ctrl + C
Cut Ctrl + X
Paste Ctrl + V
Maximaze Windows F11 or Windows logo key + Up arrow
Open Task View Windows logo key + Tab
Display and hide the desktop Windows logo key + D
Switch between open apps Alt + Tab
Open the Quick Link menu Windows logo key + X
Lock your PC: Windows logo key + L
Restart GPU CTRL+SHIFT+B
Close all apps ALT+F4
Snap between Windows logo key+left or right arrow
Open task manager CTRL+SHIFT+ESC
Printscreen Windows logo key+PrtSc

There are many more, but I think these are most important. For example, Copy and Paste are most known and also most used and Windows logo key+D is least used.


My favorite is Snap between because it can be used when you are playing videogames and you are not allowed to then you can snap between desktops and your parent can not catch you. Of course, you must be quick.


But open Task manager is very useful too you can watch which apps are running on the background and cancel them if you want. I use a lot of shortcuts and they saved me many minutes if not hours. And you do you use shortcuts too, if yes which ones?
