Today's blog post is about two quick keyboard tips for Windows 8.1 use. Firstly, to quickly get to the full application list (the list of all installed applications from A to Z) from any Windows screen after logging in, simply press Win, and then Ctrl+Tab. To return back to the Start screen, press Win again.

Second tip is the useful "Power User" menu, which allows you to quickly access various computer management tools. This menu open when you right-click the Start button on the lower-left corner, but you can also open it easily using just your keyboard: simply press Win+X.

Hope this helps!
