Keyboard shortcut to open PowerShell from the Desktop

When you press Win+X, you may see little underlines under the options. If you press I, PowerShell will open.

So, the shortcut is Win+X I (or Win+X A for an elevated prompt).

You can pin your PowerShell to your taskbar and then move the icon to the far left.

Now you can use Win+1 to start it.

for an elevated PowerShell:

WinAlt+1 Return
