It is called the WINDOWS KEY. Honesty, I always thought the “Windows Key” on my keyboard was just a nuisance. It was just the thing I accidentally hit once in a while and the darn Start menu would pop up. I was wrong; it has a diverse array of uses.
When used in combination with other keys, here’s what you can do:

  • Windows Key + Tab: Cycle through the buttons in the Task Bar.
  • Windows Key + D: Minimize or restore all windows
  • Windows Key + E: Launch Windows Explorer
  • Windows Key + F: Launch Search for Files
  • Windows Key + Ctrl + F: Launch Search for Computers
  • Windows Key + F1: Launch the Help and Support Center
  • Windows Key + R: Launch the Run dialog box
  • Windows Key + Pause/Break: Launch System Properties dialog box
  • Windows Key + M: Minimizes all open windows.
  • Windows Key + Shift + M: Undo minimize all windows
  • Windows Key + L: Locks the workstation
  • Windows Key + U: Launch the Utility Manager
  • Windows Key + Ctrl + Tab: According to Microsoft: Moves focus from Start, to the Quick Launch toolbar, to the system tray.
  • Urrahh......Now you know, the "windows key" is multi - functional!!!!!
