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?

It's because the snap option has been disabled. Just open start menu, type Snap and select Snap settings. Alternatively open settings > system > multitasking
There you'll see the Snap - Arrange windows automatically by dragging them to the sides or corners of the screen. Just enable it and the shortcuts will work again

I had the same issue. This fixed it for me. I had installed the Dell monitor management software for my computer and it had disabled snap. Thanks! – evilhomer – 2020-01-28T12:42:06.260
I'm experiencing the same issue except that Snap and all successive checkboxes are toggled on. Any ideas? – Chad – 2020-01-30T02:05:22.213
@Chad try the solutions in this question. If it doesn't help then you'll need to ask another question

Find Multitasking Settings and switch Snap on.

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.
