ctrl+alt+arrow suddenly stopped working












1














Hi I use ctrl+alt+arrow a lot. Suddenly the arrow key gets swallowed when I enter this shortcut. I tried in multiple programs. I am using RDP right now and know about the settings but it has been working until now what suddenly changed?



Edit
All the above keys work when they are not combined, including ctrl+alt+any other key. e.g. ctrl+alt+F5 even ctrl+arrow or alt+arrow works. I am using a dell inspiron laptop RDP to a dell inspiron desktop. Os: windows 10



Update
I am now at the desktop computer with no RDP and the Ctrl+Alt+Arrow is working. So it has something to do with RDP. I still don't know what.
