    WIN+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW not working

    The problem is moving an app between monitors not desktops. WIN+SHIFT+Left/right arrow key should move apps between monitors but only the left arrow work on my laptop

    Possibility to move windows to other monitors with 'windows key + shift + arrow keys' on fullscreen youtube with windows 10?

    I've noticed that moving windows between monitors with 'win key + shift + left/right arrows' does work with all kinds of windows but it behaves weird on fullscreen youtube videos. I currently have 3 monitors
    connected and what 'win key + shift + leftarrow' does is move the fullscreen video to the right monitor and 'win key + shift + rightarrow' moves it over to the left monitor. Notice that left and right are reversed, and that the primary middle monitor can't
    be reached with the shortcuts. This behaviour happens both in chrome and firefox. On microsoft edge, the fullscreen youtube video doesn't seem to move at all. I'm not sure if this matters but i'm using an Nvidia 960m graphics card with the latest driver. I
    have windows 10 updated to the latest version.

    can not move windows that on other monitor using win+shift+ arrow key

    WIN + Shift + Left/right arrow shortcut does nothing.

    WIN + SHIFT + left/right arrow used to move windows between monitors. I can't say for certain when it stopped working (memory issue) (my memory, not computer memory), but it's been at least a few weeks. Every other Win key shortcut I can think of works (WIN + R to run, WIN + up/down arrow to maximze/minimize, etc).

    Every key works fine on its own/for other shortcuts, but WIN + SHIFT + left/right arrow doesn't do anything.

    Windows Troubleshooter and SFC found nothing, i don't have a group policy, there's no registry entry about it. Gaming keyboard options are disabled, drivers are updated, Windows is up to date.
