One benefit of making sure your app icons are pinned and in the order you like on the taskbar:

You can use WIN + <number associated with position> to launch that app

(works for 1 up to 10 (press 0 for the 10th))

@JenMsft The picture comes together: started with a simple Win for reaches Start menu! :)
@JenMsft such a smooth multitasking feature!

@JenMsft Combine it with Shift + Ctrl and you can launch the app with administrator rights.

Windows Terminal is always in the 3rd position for me, so when I need to run it as an admin I just press Win + Shift + Ctrl + 3. πŸ˜‹

@JenMsft for me, #1 is always my browser, on every computer.
@JenMsft if only windows would stop shoving extra icons onto the front and screwing up my ability to count them.
@JenMsft I can’t tell you how much I’m appreciating this thank you!!
