    Switching Desktops while in game


    Hi, I only have one monitor and when playing games like to switch to discord using the desktop switch command: Windows Key + Ctrl + Left Arrow and Windows Key + Ctrl + Right Arrow. This used to work, while I was in game but it hasn't of late, and I was wondering if their was a reason for this and a way to change it back?

    :)
