    Control+arrow changes desktop instead of moving cursor to next word


    I have an issue where I'll be editing a document or some text field, and I'll press Control + left or right arrow to move the cursor one word at a time, but instead it will change virtual desktops, as if I was hitting Control + Win + arrow. I found a workaround through a program called Sylphyhorn, which adds a lot of useful utilities to my desktop, and when Sylphyhorn is running the keys all work as expected. Very frustrating problem and I can't find a solution online. I've tried updating the keyboard driver, I'm up to date on patches, I've run SFC scans, the usual options. Any ideas on what's

    :)
