Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + L is the most cumbersome and intrusive shortcut in Windows 11 and we explain why

On other occasions we have delved into some of the best Windows keyboard shortcuts. A few weeks ago, we told you the virtues of ALT + space bar, a combination that everyone should know because of its usefulness. In addition, we also gave space to a secret shortcut that, for 16 years, has been the last resort of many to restart Windows. However, what no one knew is that Microsoft has a combination that, in short, helps you look for work.

Although it is somewhat cumbersome, the shortcut in question is Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + L and is available in Windows 11. Thus, those users of the new Microsoft operating system will have the opportunity, once they press this combination, to open LinkedIn. Regardless of the main browser, this shortcut allows interested parties to open their LinkedIn profile, a social network focused on offering job opportunities. And, in case anyone was surprised by this possibility, it is because Microsoft has owned LinkedIn for a few years.

Other combinations available with Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win

If you are a Windows 10 user, the combination Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win (without pressing any letter) will open Word 365exactly the same thing that happens in Windows 11 if you enter this combination and add the letter W. In fact, there are several aspects of the shortcut that, in short, open different functions in the default browser of Windows 11 users:

  • Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + L = LinkedIn
  • Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + W = Word 365

  • Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + X = Excel (browser version)

  • Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + P = PowerPoint (browser version)
  • Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + O = Outlook

However, from the PC Gamer media they indicate that, although it is mostly related to programs from the Redmond firm, the fact that there is the possibility of opening LinkedIn may become intrusive for some people. Be that as it may, the existence of this combination and its possibilities, beyond how cumbersome it can be to press 5 keys At the same time, it gives a range of possibilities to users who make the most of the keyboard’s possibilities.

Microsoft launches bizarre site to explain Activision Blizzard deal


The battle between Microsoft and Sony over the Activision Blizzard deal continues. Microsoft has therefore now launched a special site to explain the consequences of the acquisition.

In January, Microsoft announced it plans to acquire Activision Blizzard for $69 billion. The deal is still not done, because it must first be approved by the various watchdogs. There are doubts whether Microsoft will not become too powerful after the takeover, partly fueled by statements from Sony.

To explain the consequences of the Activision Blizzard deal, Microsoft has now launched a special site. On the site you can read what the vision of the American publisher is with the company behind Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Diablo, among others.

With the page, Microsoft also wants to make it clear that the company will not become too big a power within the game industry. In fact, according to an overview, ‘Sony and Nintendo remain the largest players’ in the field of games. Microsoft will also ensure healthy competition in the , where ‘a number of large players now dominate’.

Investigation into Activision Blizzard deal launched

The fact that Microsoft has now launched a special site to explain the consequences of the acquisition does not come at a strange time. In September it became clear that the EU and the watchdog of the United Kingdom have launched an investigation into the takeover. In particular, the possibility of Call of Duty becoming an Xbox-exclusive franchise would cause problems.

The deadline for the EU investigation is 8 November. On that date, the European Commission must give its approval, block the takeover or there is still a possibility to launch a more in-depth investigation. So it will be a while before we get more certainty about the Activision Blizzard deal.
