1. Use Virtual Desktops for Better Organization

Windows allows you to create multiple desktops for multitasking. Press Win + Tab and click “New Desktop” to create a virtual workspace for different tasks.

2. Clipboard History

Press Win + V to access clipboard history. This lets you paste multiple copied items, not just the last one.

3. Quick Screenshots

Use Win + Shift + S to take a screenshot of any part of the screen. It’s faster than opening Snipping Tool separately.

4. Storage Sense to Free Space

Go to Settings → System → Storage and enable Storage Sense. Windows will automatically delete temporary files and free up space.

5. Windows Security (Built-in Antivirus)

Windows Defender is free and powerful in 2025. Keep it updated for real-time protection against malware and ransomware.

6. Dark Mode and Focus Assist

Switch to dark mode to reduce eye strain (Settings → Personalization → Colors). Use Focus Assist to block notifications during work or gaming.

7. PowerToys for Productivity

Microsoft PowerToys is a free toolkit with extra features like FancyZones (custom window layouts) and Keyboard Manager (remap keys). It’s a must-have for power users.
