I use it a lot. Ever since windows 8, the best way to use windows has been hit the windows key and type what you want.
Additionally there are a few shortcuts that are handy
Also "win + - > or <-" to move a tile to left or right side.
Well, I'd say the start menu peaked in Windows 7, where it only showed good local results, but it is still the best way to open something I know the name of.
You can disable online results permanently with about 15 minutes of web searching and adjusting settings (including within registry and group policy, but still).
Sigh
Not on my work computer, the only place I use windows, I can't. A workaround is never a complete fix.
win + x brings up a useful alternate start menu
win + ; for some fun ascii art
Plus Win+arrow keys to move a window around, maximize, or minimize it. I use it ALL THE TIME.
I often use win+v for the clipboard history and win+shift+s for taking screenshots.
win + space to switch between keyboard languages
win + tab to open the desktop switcher
win + ctrl + t (if you have PowerToys installed) to prevent other apps from stealing focus from your window
Win+ca+enter = calculator
Can you edit these key bindings?
I think you can edit the ctrl alt shift win ones, or at least add them for letters they haven't sold
I had to google ctrl shift windows, l, and...
It kind of makes sense: I bet the type of person who actually use this hotkey is the same kind of person who reposts motivational corporate shite every 10 minutes.
