Tired of clicking through menus to launch your go-to apps in Windows 11? There's a faster way! You can assign custom keyboard shortcuts to practically any application, boosting your productivity and making your workflow smoother.
Here's how to do it:
1. **Find the Application Shortcut:** Locate the app's shortcut. This could be on your desktop, in the Start menu, or within File Explorer (usually under `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs`).
2. **Open Properties:** Right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties."
3. **Assign the Shortcut Key:** In the Properties window, go to the "Shortcut" tab. You'll see a field labeled "Shortcut key." Click in this field, then press the key combination you want to use (e.g., Ctrl + Alt + A). Windows will automatically add "Ctrl + Alt +" to your chosen key.
4. **Apply and OK:** Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes.
That's it! Now, whenever you press your assigned shortcut, the corresponding application will launch instantly. Experiment with different key combinations to find what works best for you and supercharge your Windows 11 experience! Remember to choose shortcuts that don't conflict with existing system shortcuts.
