Here’s a quick shortlist of the most common new “Windows Key” shortcuts that we admins find the most useful! Myself and colleague Suzanne George are always doing:
* Win+E – Explorer
* Win+R – Run
* Win+Break – System Info
* Win+D – Desktop (we use this one a lot!)
* Win+Plus or Win+Minus – Magnifier/Zoom In and Out
* Win+F – Find Files
* Win+Print Screen – Put a PNG in the Pictures folder
* Alt-Tab – Switch between Apps
* Win-Tab – Switch between Full Screen Apps
Press Win+I (or go to Settings) and click Tiles
 
Hopefuly this should save you some time & frustration!
