Not knowing Ctrl+shift+esc opens the task manager is one thing, but copy and paste should be taught in school.
My lazy ass sometimes doesn't feel like moving the left hand so I just use the mouse.
Valid
The best shortcut like that is win+X it opens a quick menu with stuff like Powershell, task manager, device manager, and a bunch of other admin stuff.
You can also right click the window icon to open the menu.
I right click the start menu more than I open it normally.
My fingers have that plus the correct directional keys memorized to put my computer to sleep.
I still haven’t grown out of my ctrl + alt + del habit
Step 1: get a 60% keyboard
Step 2: don't learn where the "delete" key is
Step 3: change the keycaps so you can't even look at the keyboard to see where it is
Step 4: ???
Step 5: profit!
I used to know this shortcut, but it was one of the many that I forgot after moving to linux.
Thanks for the refresher! I’ll probably get use of this on my work laptop
Ctrl+shift+esc was so useful back when I learned it. I still see people press ctrl+alt+del and click to open task manager. Or alternatively (but not as bad imo) right clicking on the start button and selecting to open task manager
You don't even have to do it on the start button, any empty spot in the taskbar works
TIL
Win+X opens the same menu.
It doesn't physically interrupt the system like ctrl alt delete does.
I still sometimes hit ctrl/alt/del to open the task manager if I'm not thinking.
Too many years of doing that when I was younger and it only brought up the task manager.
Wut. 😮
Thank you for this.
