Minimizing Window Shortcut Key

Minimizing Window Shortcut Key

Why Trust Us

Question:
I can press Windows Key + M to minimize all windows, but how do I minimize only the current window without using my mouse?

Answer:
Well, I can give you a three-key combination. Hit Alt-Spacebar to bring up the System menu and then hit the N key to minimize that window. This should work for 95 percent of your programs. (Expect to find some where the programmer has disabled window minimization, in which case you probably can’t minimize it by other method.)
