    Just like the title says, I'm having problems finding a solution to stop ctrl+arrow keys changing the windows position/orientation. For a game I play it uses ctrl+arrows and instead of it responding in game, it changes the window to "snap" left, right, up, or minimize (down). Any suggestions? Using Windows 7

    I have this problem too.
     
  3. Hi, The CTRL+Arrow is a Graphics Hotkey. To disable them, simply right click anywhere on your Windows desktop screen and select Graphics Options and then Hot Keys and then Disable.

    Hi, To turn off the Ctrl + Arrow keys that change the way your screen looks, you can follow these easy steps:

    1. Right-click on your desktop (the main screen where your icons are).
    2. A menu will pop up, and you'll see something like "Graphics Options" or "Display Settings" (depending on your computer).
    3. Find "Hotkeys" or "Key Combinations" in the list.
    4. Turn off or disable the hotkeys from there.
    Now, when you press Ctrl + Arrow, nothing will change. I hope this will fix your problem.
