    Ctrl Key stuck after virtual desktop switch


    The Ctrl Key would stuck around 50% of the time after virtual desktop switch using Ctrl+Win+Arrow keys. The virtual keyboard does not show Ctrl key as stuck. The fix is to press the Ctrl key for a few seconds and it would become normal again. But this is very annoying. I use the virtual desktop a lot to use fullscreen remote desktop in a separate virtual desktop. But this bug is hurting the experience and causing problems.


    This also happens when I use power toys to remap the Ctrl +Arrow keys to do the same thing.


    This happens at both my desktop and macbook pro with bootcamp. It doesn't seem to be an isolated problem, but searching doesn't return useful answers.


    Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?


    Thanks in advance!

    :)

  2. Switch virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT



    • I found a bug on the newly released Windows 10 on the Samsung Ativ book 9+ (I'm not sure if this bug is found on other laptops). The function, "Switch virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT," doesn't work with the ctrl button on the right side
      of the keyboard. However, it works when the ctrl button on the left side is used instead. I'm wondering if other users are facing the same problem.

    Windows Key + CTRL + Right Doesn't Work (Desktop Switch)

    Hi,

    I love the new multiple desktops. However, the desktop switch isn't working for me.

    It's an odd bug...

    Windows Key + (left) CTRL + Right Arrow Key will not work, but Windows Key + (left) CTRL + Left Arrow Key will work.

    Both the left and right arrow keys work when I use the right CTRL key, and the left CTRL key works perfectly fine using an external keyboard.

    Any suggestions?
