Hello, All,

Like most of you still using Windows 10, I decided to migrate to Windows 11, at the end of october, because my computer was compatible ( BIOS with UEFI boot, TPM module and DirectX 12 )

I eagerly awaited the November 11, 2025 update, which should have brought us a new Start Menu, correcting some of the current limitations However, no such update occured, so far, on my laptop :-((

Of course, I know that I could use the GitHub tool, named ViveTool.exe. After downloading and extracting the last release https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe/releases/tag/v0.3.4, I would have run, in an Administrator Commmand Prompt window, the command vivetool /enable /id:47205210 to get the new Start Menu, after a complete restart. Moreover, this action seems safe as we can revert back to our present Start Menu with the command vivetool /reset /id:47205210

Ultimately, I prefer to wait for the usual Windows 11 staged roll-out to work in my favor !

But, if you’re interested to test it, read, first, this recent article

In this other article

it is also said :

ViVeTool is an open-source tool to unlock hidden features in Windows. It directly interacts with Windows Feature Management, which is the A/B testing system Microsoft uses. ViVeTool calls the official APIs and doesn’t hack or modify Windows files, so it’s mostly safe to use as long as you use it with correct variables.

So, in the meanwhile, I tried to get used to the main aspects of Windows 11, which doesn’t change, fundamentally, my workflow ! Among other things, I updated my Win 10 list of shortcuts related to the Windows key and, little by little, I included, in that list, a lot of other shortcuts related to main applications of the Microsoft world.

Here is the outline of this list, related to Windows 11 shortcuts :

You can get this list, named W11_Shortcuts.txt, from my Drive account :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wt03527NLrg-bNfKFK1x_0QqdxnSB4PU/view?usp=sharing

Notes :

These shortcuts are those used with a standard American / English keyboard. As I’m French, I noted some variations with my French keyboard ! Thus, for any other language, some shortcuts may be different and not very easy to find out !

Google Chrome’s shortcuts are not described in this list as I simply use the native Edge browser of Microsoft

Moreover, all Microsoft 365 applications are not listed, so far !

IMPORTANT :

Now, all these shortcuts consist of one or more keys from the list below :

The Windows key, on the left side of the main keyboard

The Office key, on the right side of the main keyboard

One of the two Control keys, on both sides of the main keyboard : Ctrl

One of the two Shift keys, on both sides of the main keyboard : Shift

The Alternate key , on the left side of the main keyboard : Alt

The Letter keys : Any upper-case letter, for example C

The Symbol keys : Any symbol surrounded with parentheses, for example (+)

Remarks :

Some shortcuts are specific to the main keyboard => indication (Main)

Some shortcuts are specific to the numeric keypad => indication (Numpad)

Of course, if any shortcut have been left out of this list, please, let me know ! On the other hand, feel free to ask me about shortcuts that seem still unclear to you !

I personally did not understand 9 shortcuts, which are identified, in this list, with the ??? mark, right after the shortcut !

Best Regards,
