Pretty much in the title, the only time I interact with the windows key in its standard operating condition is getting pissed off that the start menu opened. I use it in other capacities such as taking screen shots and other key commands but I got to wondering if anyone, ever actually uses it to access the start menu.

Also if anyone comes here and posts “dOnT uSe wINdoWs,” you really are cute.

Edit: I am more curious if anyone actually gets utility out of its default behavior (opening the start menu). I am aware that it is used in a number of key commands (although some are new to me).

    I use it EVERY day at work. I use the Windows key + L to lock my screen when I walk away from my computer. I work in IT and setup new computers for new employees and I access the software from a server that I access through Windows Key + R. I could use GUI clicks to do both things, but this is the absolute quickest.
