Win+Right, Win+Left shortcuts not working in Windows 10

Question

Somehow Win+Right and Win+Left shortcuts that are used to snap the window to the left or right of the screen don't work any more. They worked fine a few days a go and now the stopped working.

Other Windows key shortcuts work fine, the the arrow buttons work fine.

What can be the problem?

Solution 1

If you close a window that is currently snapped then re-open it, it generally breaks one of the snap directions. e.g. if I snap VSCode to the right side of my screen, close it, then re-open it, Win+Right will work, but Win+Left will not.

Solution 2

Find Multitasking Settings and switch Snap on.

I have the exact same problem as OP. Here are my snap settings: imgur.com/a/iSaPX

Update: for me the problem was solved after a reboot

I have been running into this as well, and I've found the behavior very confusing. Thank you for at least explaining how to consistently repeat the issue, and at least give me a way to "correct it". When this happens, I'm able to un-snap the window and close it. Then both Win+Right and Win+Left work again.
