Windows keys on the keyboard are more versatile than you might think. By pressing Windows keys and other keys at the same time, shortcuts to a range of commands and functions can be triggered. But how do you remember and keep track of all the shortcuts available? Thanks to the Windows shortcut guide, you don't have to do this. The shortcut guide, available through PowerToys for Microsoft Windows 10, covers shortcuts to all Windows keys. To access the guide, press the Windows key. Let's see how it works.

To activate the shortcut guide, go to Microsoft's GitHub page for PowerToys. Download and install the PowerToysSetup.msi file for the latest version. After starting PowerToys, right-click the icon in the Windows system tray and select Settings. Make sure the Quick Guide switch is on. You can also enable or disable the ability to switch to Launch on Login, which you should do if you want to access the Shortcuts Guide at any time. If you make any changes, click Save (Figure A).

Click the Save button (Figure B) when finished and close the PowerToys Settings window.
