    control, alt delete.  It really helps when my computer used to freeze because it's memory is too slow and small.

    Window+D to minimize all windows. But keyboard shortcuts in general.

    The keyboard on my desktop does not have a sleep button, so Windows+X followed by U and then S puts my computer to sleep very quickly.

    Windows key + M (minimize all windows), +K (to cast my screen wirelessly), +P (to project across connected monitors).

    For browsers, Ctrl+T to open a new tab, Ctrl+W to close the current tab.

    The tried and true CTRL+C, (or often CTRTL+X) then CTLR+V.  I use those combinations constantly throughout the day.
