Looking for my shortcut to start the screen saver immediately.  I have one, but can't recall it presently.  Is there a method to look up current shortcut keys.  I reviewed the help section and didn't find it there.

    Here are a couple of options:  https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/shortcut-key-to-start-windows-7-screen-saver/14cfa789-7b75-4066-849e-9de11495b0b5

    Post #16 in that thread has a link to an article that presents a method of starting the screensaver when you press WinKey+L, but it requires a third-party (free) utility.
