    Anyone having the same issue, or had the same issue and managed to resolve it?

    Did a fresh install of windows 10 to declutter my drive and it's still not working.



    Shortcut was 'ctrl + win + left or right cursor'. I tried different combinations alt/shift etc. None worked.

    Keyboard shortcut for switching to the virtual desktop on the right doesn't work

    When creating a new desktop (WIN-CTRL-D), I can switch to the left desktop using WIN-CTRL-Left, but I cannot switch back to the right desktop using WIN-CTRL-Right.

    It looks like the WIN-CTRL-Right keyboard shortcut doesn't work...

    Virtual desktop shortcut, not working

    I recently upgraded to Win10, and make extensive use of the virtual desktops. However I have problem with the shortcuts.

    When I try the shortcut for "switch to the deskptop to the right" -> "Ctrl + windows + right_arrow", it does not work - unless I use the Ctrl button to the most right on my keyboard. See: imgur.com

    (The red one does not work, but the blue one does).

    However it does work, if I use a USB connect keyboard. Further, and the is the strange part, is work flawless when I try switching left - no matter which "Ctrl" button I use.

    Ideas?

    Virtual Desktop Keyboard Shortcut Bug

    So while using the Windows Key+Control+Left/Right Arrow keyboard shortcut that switches between your virtual desktops, I noticed an inconsistency with it.

    If I use my left control key to do this keyboard shortcut, only the shortcut that uses the left arrow key works.

    In other words, Left Control+Windows Key+Left Arrow works, but
    Left Control+Windows Key+Right Arrow doesn't.

    However there doesn't seem to be a problem if I use the right control key instead of the left one, however that makes the keyboard shortcut awkward to press.

    I am on a clean install of Windows 10, and the left control key works fine otherwise, but I was wondering whether or not this could be fixed.
