Check out these three simple and clever Windows 10 tricks that will simplify your life and you probably do not know exist.
Learning Windows 10 is not difficult if you have time to read tons of material to cover every feature. But even when you think you have seen it all, there will always be something that will surprise you.
Things like, a keyboard shortcut, a new option or lesser known feature, turn Windows 10 into an even more user-friendly operating system, allowing you to do your job very easily.
Today we are going to show you three keyboard shortcuts that you probably do not know and that will really help you save a lot of clicks.
Shift + click on icon of taskbar = New app launch
If you are working on an application and want to start a new window of the same application, you can do so by simply pressing Shift and clicking on the application icon.
However, you need to have the application icon placed on the taskbar, but since most people already have the most used programs on their taskbar, you will find this trick quite practical.
CTRL + Shift + Esc = Task Manager
This hotkey has been around since Windows 10 and is always listed in the Task Manager. This particular program is one of the most useful preloaded tools in Windows 10 and that's why Microsoft is so interested in improving it further in updates capabilities.
However, most people launch Task Manager using the traditional method, which involves right-clicking the taskbar > Task Manager. But if your mouse is not available or not working, you can use it keyboard, press CTRL + Shift + Escape to launch the Task Manager.
This key combination is also useful in cases where your device freezes and the taskbar no longer responds. Task Manager can still be started from the keyboard.
CTRL + Shift + click = Run as administrator
Some applications in Windows 10 require elevated privileges, and there is no doubt that most people rely on the traditional method to launch an application with administrator rights, which involves right-clicking the icon > Run as administrator.
This is without a doubt the easiest way for the majority of users and we personally use it on a regular basis. But how do you feel about being able to start an application with administrator privileges via a keyboard shortcut?
What you need to do is press CTRL + Shift and then click on the application icon. It works everywhere on your device, including the menu Inception.
Of course, there are many more hotkeys and simple tricks to help you dominate the world of Windows 10. Let us suffice today with these three and from time to time we will return with additional techniques.
