Windows 10 Page Down Shortcuts: Unleash Your Productivity

As a Windows 10 user, you might be aware of some common keyboard shortcuts that make your life easier. But did you know there are many more shortcuts waiting to be discovered? We asked our engineers on the team to share their favorite (and lesser-known) keyboard shortcuts for Windows 10, and here's what they came up with.

One of the most useful shortcuts is Shift + Right-click in File Explorer, which allows you to launch Command Prompt with whatever folder you are in as the starting path. This can be a huge time-saver when working with files and folders.

Another useful shortcut is Alt + D in File Explorer or browser, which puts you directly in the address bar. No more navigating through menus!

If you're a gamer, you'll love WIN + Alt + R, which starts or stops recording your apps and games. And for those who want to capture screenshots, WIN + PrtScrn takes a screenshot of your entire desktop and saves it to the Screenshots folder under Photos in your user profile.

But that's not all! Alt + PrtScrn takes a screenshot of an open window and copies it to your clipboard. No more tedious screenshot editing!

Of course, there are many other ways to shut down or restart your PC, but Scott suggests simply pushing the power button on most laptops or closing the lid.

For those who want to put their PC to sleep, WIN + X and U then S is the way to go. And for administrative tasks, WIN + X and A opens Command Prompt with administrative rights.

The WIN + X key combination is particularly useful, as it opens a context menu of advanced features that can help you troubleshoot or customize your system.

If you want to provide feedback on Windows 10, WIN + F opens the Feedback Hub with a screenshot attached to your feedback. And for those who need to access Task Manager quickly, Ctrl + Shift + Esc is the shortcut you've been looking for.

Finally, note that denotes a new keyboard shortcut introduced in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

In addition to these shortcuts, there's also a nice support page that includes a near-complete list of Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. And if you're part of the Windows 10 Insiders program, be sure to check out the fantastic list of Windows 10 shortcuts inside the Feedback Hub app.

By mastering these keyboard shortcuts, you'll be able to work more efficiently and get the most out of your Windows 10 experience. So go ahead, start exploring, and discover the many ways you can streamline your workflow with Windows 10!
