    CTRL + ESC should display the Start Menu.

    Win key should display the Start Menu.

    control will open the Control Panel.

    Win key + R should open Run. Type: control and hit Enter.

    Ctrl + Shift + Esc should open the Task Manager. Click File then New Task
    (Run...).
    Type: control and hit Enter.
