In Excel, hitting Enter moves you to the next cell, which drives writers crazy. To get Enter to do what it is supposed to do, i.e. create a new line or paragraph, hit ALT + Enter. In Word, to clear bad formatting, select the text and hit CNTR+Shift+N to format the text to whatever your Normal template is.

We use Outlook for work emails and I just discovered you can use "Windows key" + (.) or (;) and it will bring up an emoji menu.

Windows + K: opens the cast menu so you can connect your laptop to a wireless display. Very useful when giving a presentation.

That’s all I’ve got.

Similar vein:
Windows+P opens the Projector menu, and allows you to duplicate or extend multiple displays. Helpful when you connect to a projector but can't see what's on it yet.

Not a keyboard shortcut but you type in "shell:appsfolder" in top bar in windows file explorer it will show all of your apps and a right click will let you uninstall any of them among other things.

Alt + tab quickly toggles to the last window you had open. Hold them down and you can see a collage of all windows open and select the one you want to see.

F4 is MS Office allows you to repeat the last action. So if you highlight something in excel, you can just go to a new cell and press F4 to highlight that one instead of right clicking and selecting the fill.

CTRL+V is to paste but CTRL+Shift+V will paste values when copying a cell with formulas in it.

Windows+M will minimize all your windows to show the desktop. Clicking the bottom corner of your taskbar (near the date/time) does the same thing.

Windows+left or right arrow key will push the window to the left or right half of the screen. After that, it gives you the other windows to choose from to place on the other half to view side by side.
