    Switching virtual desktops to the right doesn't work


    Hi,

    I have the following problem: switching virtual desktops to the right (CTRL+WIN+Right Arrow) doesn't work. On the other hand, when I go to e.g. desktop number 3 (using WIN+TAB and mouse) I can switch to the left using CTRL+WIN+Left Arrow without any difficulties...

    I installed Windows Hotke Explorer to check, if CTRL+WIN+RIGHT has been taken, but it just stands "System (Move window)" in both cases.

    Does anyone know, what could be the reason?

    :)

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

    I have the same problem and want to tag along on the subject. I have a Samsung laptop (NP700Z5C-S02NL) with a clean install of Windows 10. There is a difference between my Ctrl-keys, because combining my left Ctrl key with the Win-key and left-arrow works,
    but right doesn't. However, using my right Ctrl-key works fine on both occasions; I can switch both left and right. I have little hope that sfc will fix anything, and I'm starting to fear it might be a driver issue of some sorts, in the domain of Samsung to
    fix. But perhaps someone from Microsoft can supply a solution here.

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

    The right key of the keyboard does work in notepad, but not for switching keyboard.

    The right key of the keypad does work though for switching keyboard (either left or right).

    I already performed the SFC scan, and Windows did not find any integrity violations.

    Thanks for the help.
