You can keep pressing Ctrl+Shift+T and the next most recent tab that was closed will re-open. In other words, if you closed several tabs that you'd like to re-open simply keep pressing that same key combination until all the previously closed tabs have opened back up.
To minimize the app you are using, press Windows + Down arrow on your keyboard. If the app is maximized, this minimize shortcut only restores it to its intermediate state, so you have to use it twice to hide the window from view. To maximize the current app, use the Windows + Up arrow keyboard shortcut.

Connect the second monitor to your PC, and launch the game you wish to play. Next, navigate to your desktop screen, and hit Windows and P keys together. A few options will display, select the PC screen only option. Finally, your primary display will go blank, but the game will continue to run on the second monitor.
Press Alt + Space , then press M . This will activate the Move option of the window. Use the left, right, up and down arrow keys to move your window. When you have moved the window to the desired position, press Enter.
If a window does not move when you drag it, double-click the title bar first, and then drag it. If you want to move the Windows taskbar to a different monitor, make sure the taskbar is unlocked, then grab a free area on the taskbar with the mouse and drag it to the desired monitor.
Hold down the Shift key, then right-click on the appropriate application icon in the Windows taskbar. On the resulting pop-up, select the Move option. Begin pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the invisible window from off-screen to on-screen.
Press and hold the Windows Key then add and hold the SHIFT key. While keeping those two pressed hit the left or right arrow key to move the current active window left or right.
Here's how to do that:
- Open an app.
- Once the app minimized in the taskbar at the bottom of your desktop, left-click and hold the cursor on the app icon.
- Continue holding the left-click and drag the app to the left or the right edge of your first monitor (depending on where your second monitor is positioned)
Virtual Desktop Shortcuts
- Windows+Ctrl+D: Create a new virtual desktop and switch to it.
- Windows+Ctrl+F4: Close the current virtual desktop.
- Windows+Ctrl+Left/Right: Switch to the virtual desktop on the left or right.
In almost any application that offers built-in tabs, you can use Ctrl+Tab to switch between tabs, just as you'd use Alt+Tab to switch between windows. Hold down the Ctrl key, and then tap Tab repeatedly to switch to the tab to the right. You can even switch tabs in reverse (right to left) by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Tab.
Move a Window PreciselyWhen the window is selected, press Alt+Space to open a small menu in the upper-left corner. Press the arrow key to select “Move,” and then press enter. Use the arrow keys to move the window where you want it onscreen, and then press Enter.
Select the Task View button, or press Alt-Tab on your keyboard to see or switch between apps. To use two or more apps at a time, grab the top of an app window and drag it to the side. Then choose another app and it'll automatically snap into place.
To do this, press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard, then press the Tab key. Continue pressing the Tab key until the desired window is selected.
You can do this by pressing Alt+Tab until that window is active or clicking the associated taskbar button. After you've got the window active, Shift+right-click the taskbar button (because just right-clicking will open the app's jumplist instead) and choose the “Move” command from the context menu.
When you launch an application such as Microsoft Word, the window will sometimes open partially off the screen, obscuring text or the scrollbars. This usually happens after you change screen resolution, or if you closed the application with the window in that position.
Just release TAB when you get to the one you want. Hide all windows … and then put them back. To minimize all viewable applications and windows at once, type WINKEY + D.
