How to Use This Keyboard Shortcut to Protect Your PC

This holiday season, as you embark on your travels, your primary focus may shift to making sure your laptop stays safe from theft. However, it’s essential to remember that prying eyes can be just as troublesome as actual thieves.

The good news is that securing your computer is a swift process. All you need to do is hit the combo: Win + L. By doing this, anyone who tries to access your device will need to unlock it first.

If you’ve enabled Windows Hello, locking down your PC before stepping away won’t be a hassle at all. You can quickly regain access using biometric authentication (if your device supports it) or a PIN, making the process both secure and efficient.

This keyboard shortcut is my personal favorite; it gives me peace of mind knowing my computer is locked and secure. There are times when I feel the need to safeguard my work even more meticulously—or simply defend myself against playful colleagues who enjoyed pulling pranks by tinkering with others’ computer settings. Interestingly, you can also set up automated locking based on how close you are to your device—or even your smartphone.

If you appreciate this Windows shortcut, there are plenty of other handy shortcuts worth discovering. Just the other day, I surprised a friend with a clever way to take screenshots; he was still talking about it days later, lamenting that he hadn’t learned it sooner!
