Did you know? Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Win+L Opens the LinkedIn website on Windows. Check it out if you want.
Windows has a wide array of handy keyboard shortcuts. Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Win+L is one of them. In October 2019, Microsoft introduced a new keyboard design that includes a dedicated “Office” key. The key is usually placed between the right Alt key and the Emoji key near the space bar, and has the Microsoft Office logo printed on it. If you have a Microsoft-brand keyboard with an “Office” key on it, press “Office+L” and it will do the same thing.

As with the LinkedIn shortcut mentioned above, you can unlock other office apps using Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Windows.
