  2. Switch virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT



    • I found a bug on the newly released Windows 10 on the Samsung Ativ book 9+ (I'm not sure if this bug is found on other laptops). The function, "Switch virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT," doesn't work with the ctrl button on the right side
      of the keyboard. However, it works when the ctrl button on the left side is used instead. I'm wondering if other users are facing the same problem.

    Ctrl Key stuck after virtual desktop switch

    The Ctrl Key would stuck around 50% of the time after virtual desktop switch using Ctrl+Win+Arrow keys. The virtual keyboard does not show Ctrl key as stuck. The fix is to press the Ctrl key for a few seconds and it would become normal again. But this is
    very annoying. I use the virtual desktop a lot to use fullscreen remote desktop in a separate virtual desktop. But this bug is hurting the experience and causing problems.

    This also happens when I use power toys to remap the Ctrl +Arrow keys to do the same thing.

    This happens at both my desktop and macbook pro with bootcamp. It doesn't seem to be an isolated problem, but searching doesn't return useful answers.

    Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

    Thanks in advance!

    is there a trackpad gesture for switching desktops (windows+ctrl+arrow left or right)

    is there a track pad gesture for switching virtual desktops in the same way the key command windows+ctrl+arrow left or right does?

    if not is there a way to edit the track pad gestures? because I have no use for the three fingers left to right/right to left gesture and it would be really useful if I could make this gesture control switching between virtual desktops

    thanks for taking the time to read Windows Key stuck after virtual desktop switch win + Left/Right :)
