    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...

    Is your Desktop perhaps located on another disk or partition?

    The desktop is on the same partition and is the only partition in the PC. I have "Googled" this question and have read that there were numerous people who have had this problem, but no solution suggested worked for me.
