    I can no longer snap my windows left or right, or minimize and maximize. All other windows key commands seem to work. Any ideas? Please help, thanks.

    Have you installed any software recently that may have reassinged the arrow keys?
    If you boot into safe mode, does the problem persist?
    Login nornally into windows - ease of access center- make mouse easier to use - UNCHECK last option - prevent windows ......
    If this is checked areo snap will not work.


    Last suggestion, login and create a new user account, then login with the new account to test.

    This in no way has ANYTHING to do with "when you press the keyboard shortcut" and yet that's what it does...
