- A. Windows Key + I
Why not A: Incorrect. This opens the Settings app, not the Power User menu.
- B. Windows Key + X ✓
- C. Windows Key + Pause/Break
Why not C: Incorrect. This opens the System properties page (basic device specs), not the admin tools menu.
- D. Windows Key + R
Why not D: Incorrect. This opens the Run dialog box, used to launch programs or commands directly.
Correct answer
B. Windows Key + X
Explanation
The Power User menu (also called the Quick Link menu) is opened with Windows key + X. It gives administrators one-click access to tools such as Device Manager, Disk Management, Task Manager, Event Viewer, Computer Management, and the command-line shells — without navigating through Settings or Control Panel. It has existed since Windows 8 and remains functionally the same in Windows 10 and 11.
