Another neat trick is to play your game in windowed mode instead of full-screen. You can often change this in the game's settings under display or graphics. This way, you can just click outside the game window to minimize it.
Honestly, just use Alt+Tab. It's the universal 'get me outta here' shortcut for pretty much everything on Windows.
Pro Tip: If 'Alt + Tab' isn't your jam, try 'Windows Key + D'. It minimizes everything and shows the desktop. Great for when you need to hide your game in a hurry!
