I hope these are useful 1.You could take screenshots by pressing the Windows key+Print Screen button you could access the screenshots from the MyPC=Pictures folder=Screenshots folder 2.You could screen record(your audio too) By pressing on Windows Key+Alt+R and it will start recording the screen,to stop recording, press the same buttons again and it will stop recording. To access your Recorded video, Go to MyPc=Videos folder. and There it will be . 3.Press Function Key+Up arrow key to increase the brightness, Function key+Down arrow key to decrease the brightness. 4.Press Function Key+left arrow key to decrease the volume and Function Key+right arrow key to increase the volume. 5.By pressing the "Num Lock" Button, it will disable the number pad , press it again to enable it again 6.Press the Function Key+F2 to disable your screen(means the screen will go off/black. however , your computer will be still on ) PRESS the buttons again to enable it again (good shortcut if you want to save some electicity/battery[if on laptop]) 7.You could press Crtl + Z to undo. Works Pretty much in most applications okay I think that's enough shortcuts for now So did you learn anything new from this post today ? Share it below!

Those keystrokes aren't universal, some of them only apply to your computer and keyboard layout. For example, if I were use the function key with any of the arrow keys, they would play/pause my video, stop it, fast forward or rewind (and that's on this 2 in 1). In computer keyboards where I don't have a separate set of number keys, (just the ones along the top), I don't have a numpad key obviously (no numpad) So while the function key (labeled FN) does allow you to access secondary commands, you need to check your keyboard's layout to see what the buttons do. And uh, you can take screenshots, with just print screen, you don't need to hit windows, too. Some universal windows commands are, Alt F4 (closes the current window) Windows Kkey L locks the computer. Windows key M minimizes all windows. Control w closes current window....control N opens a new tab, or e-mail message.... whatever the case might be. There's more, but not all windows keyboards are laid out the same.
