Microsoft also uses a dedicated additional button on its own devices. It seems that all Windows users can exploit this.
09/21/2023 – A few years ago, Microsoft replaced the Windows button with the Office button on its computers and keyboards. This also interferes with the operation of operating systems. In addition to the physical button, the current version of Windows also understands the new keyboard shortcuts, but only on corporate computers. Many people thought there was no other way to ask them, but in recent days, after a post on Twitter that initially seemed like a joke, it quickly became clear that there was a solution to this as well.
I’ve got this on Mastodon but it’s worth repeating…
Fun fact about Microsoft Windows: If you type Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Win-L, LinkedIn will open in your default browser. This is a hotkey for the operating system and cannot be turned off.
I know this sounds like a joke but it’s not.

The CTRL-C and CTRL-V commands don’t need to be introduced to anyone, just as Ctrl + Alt + Del (or Ctrl + Shift + Esc) are already seared into the public consciousness. In addition, we can find thousands of commands in Windows and in individual applications, but the new discovery may open another way to them.
You need to press “only” five keys and Windows will obey that
From the Twitter message above, you can quickly see that Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + L After clicking on it, the LinkedIn website opens in the default browser. Hungarian region On a computer It also does its job perfectly, that is, it is already part of the operating system even if we do not have a computer or keyboard made by Microsoft. Of course, in this case we have an easier task, because pressing 5 keys does not seem comfortable at all. However, we can safely try the following “secret” combinations:
- Word – Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + W
- Excel – Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + X
- PowerPoint – Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + P
- Outlook – Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + O
- Microsoft Teams – Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + T
- OneDrive – Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + D
- OneNote – Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + N
- Yammer – Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + Y.
So it turns out that Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win corresponds to the Office key found on average computers. To call up Word on Microsoft keyboard, we just have to press Office + Wt. It’s incredible that Windows can surprise even after all these years.
