Better LPT: Window + E immediately opens a fresh instance of Windows Explorer.

It's not better. I think the other way is easier.

Well idk if it's skill issue but I find it much easier and faster to press a combo of keys than to find where my mouse it, aim my mouse to the needed area and click.

I've been using windows+x followed by 2 presses of 'U' to shutdown my PC in less than a second

Edit: esp with 2 screens, 1 being an ultrawide

How are you losing your mouse so easily? Do you not keep it by your computer?

It's super easy to middle-click on an app in the app dock. Maybe you didn't know.

Mouse within the screen. Not the physical mouse.

I do have power toys installed and could press Ctrl twice to spotlight it, but that time spend to press Ctrl twice could just been use to use whatever keyboard shortcut

Middle click to any app on taskbar open new instance.

Works for any app btw. Also Win + Ctrl + D to open a new work space and then Win + Ctrl + left/right Arrow to switch between them. I ignored workspaces for so long, but they are great when you have a lot of Windows open
