I must say I like the Windows taskbar where you can preview, select, and close windows from the taskbar.
Nonsense. It was only yesterday when I probably had over twenty, (spread across three machines and wishing I had more than four screens), and was accessing each one of them frequently.
Probably win+shift+x which toggles my main monitor input between my PC and my Switch so I can play Switch games without having to piss around with my monitor's shitty menus.
A more standard one: ctrl+r for recursive search in shell.

1. That's not exclusive to Windows.
2. You don't have enough windows to forget what's on each one. :P
Ctrl - shift - esc for quick access to task manager and ctrl+win+c which swaps between colour or black and white in Windows 10. Come in quite handy at work that one when people hit it by mistake and have no idea how to change it back.

ctrl-shift-T to unclose a browser tab.
And Ctrl-G to cancel it properly (unlike Esc which populates the command).
I'm tempted to install hstr so it gives more than one match at a time, so it works better for stuff I only half remember.
If you want to screw with people, on some Windows setups, right-side Ctrl-Shift can switch from left-to-right to right-to-left text - easy enough to do in front of them without them catching it, plus you have to use the left-side to undo it. :>
I actually unbind ctrl+g because I hit it a lot when I'm going for ctrl+f. ctrl+c cancels out of it fine.
For most stuff I just use autosuggestions.
I disable the caps LOCK FOR SAME REASON.
I make caps lock a ctrl key.
Yeah, pretty much the only ctrl key I use.
I use ctrl-c a lot in the terminal.
Yeah, in terminal I use a lot of ctrl+c,d,f,p,a,e,h,w,k
I use a lot of them shell shortcuts -_-
Ctrl+1 (to8) in a browser to switch between first 8 tabs.
Ctrl+9 to go to the last/furthest right tab.
Also, ctrl is the hack workaround for the infamous one-button mouse.
Win+x, u u to quickly shutdown Windows. Although I've done this lots of times and not realised Notepad was open and my laptop has been on in my bag all night (my work one stays on when the lid is closed).
Not a keyboard shortcut but you can customise Explorer so it defaults to starting at This PC.
Winkey+D to minimise all windows, then Winkey+D to restore them all.
Winkey+L to quickly lock my work machine
Alt+S to send an email in Outlook.
Found this useful whilst currently working from home over a laggy RDP connection to my work desktop PC, where every mouse move is slow. The less mouse the better.
