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...
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 ;)

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Windows button+left or right arrow is great! Thank you for your help!
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'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 :)
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!
The ctrl+windows+d is an ultimate level of hiding something 😂😂
actually not if u use laptop
What does ctrl+windows+d do

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 video was very helpfull! Thank you Bright Side!😉👍
Haven't had a chance to try them yet, but thank you for some great tips, easy to understand!
U r life saver. I was unable to take screenshot during my class but now I can coz of u. Thank u so much🙏
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
BEST VIDEO Ive watched for some time now
Thx for sharing your thoughts & experiences
very informative, i could actually use these keys now in my daily workday.
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
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 ;) )
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
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
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
I appreciate all of them ❤
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.
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
Thank you so much! I learned a lot today.
Thanks some great shortcuts Sir. I use Windows Key, Shift + s = a quick way to open Snip & Sketch.
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
Wow thank you so much for your generosity, we often neglect all those short cut and we even don't know that it exists.
Nothing but gratitude for your help with my keyboard knowledge & skills 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot for sharing little detail hacks.

Very informative, I think 🤔 am heading towards the bright side of life. Thanks 🥰
Very exciting teaching. All are very useful tips.
Thank you
nowadays no one needs teacher or school. all knowledge is in youtube
You are on youtube! ;)
Yep I accept it
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
Very useful. Thank you.
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.
THANKS👍
Thanks so much for this video. It's going be most helpful
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?
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!
You Guys are always awesome ❤️
the best one for me is the windows key+ g which i now use the most... thank you bright side... you are the best
5:18 This was really helpful, tysm!
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
I learned a lot thanks🙏🤠
Благодаря ви за толкова полезни лайфакове. Сега ще използвам
ALT and the F4 Key is my favorite way to subscribe to the UA-camrs I love watching.
Yeah. don't do it it closes your stuff
Nahhhhh ctrl+w is better.. It enables you to Watch the last video you were watching
I use Windows key + X to access many different things quickly the most.
Very Helpful Video.Thank you❤❤
Very nice video...have been using Windows key for so years but didn't know it could do so many things
My knowledge has now expanded. Thanks BRIGHT SIDE!
@BRIGHT SIDE Great information , Keep going. most people don't know this shortcuts and this video very helpful for them.
thank you so much, this is so cool!

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
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
i like use everything in this video! thanks for this knowledge gaining video
Thank you for doing this video - I feel so smart now!!
Great video! Super helpful! Though I had a mini panic attack when I opened a new desktop and the video disappeared lol
Wow this is interesting I'm sharing this video to my brothers and some other people. Thanks bright side👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 This can be complex technology but it's worth a try.
Thank you this was really helpful especially to me :D
The WIndows - Ctrl - Left / Right Shortcut helps me alot, Thanks
i opened a new virtual background the moment after listening about that cool thing and closed the whole thing without knowing how to come back and started to panic lol
LOL I did EXACTLY the same thing. Lucky I have a little ladder type symbol bottom left which opens a page with all desktops & recently opened docs etc
HOW DO I GET BACK-
@@bartonjakarta You just taught me what the ladder thing was! Thanks!
@@saramarkham4768 just press windows+alt key then
your pc shows active desktops you can close them from there
Ctrl+wind+left/right can let you tab between them as well.
on laptop i think you can enable support to swipe track pad left or right with some fingers.
you're a hero bro...
thx for the hotkey..for virtual dekstop...
it's so helpful to me...thx a lot..god bless you
