Visual Studio, Sublime Text, Chrome, Firefox, you name it. All the apps with tab-cycling on Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab are no longer working on my Windows PC - that is, Ctrl+Shift+Tab still works, but Ctrl+Tab does not.
I tried using TeamViewer to a friend's PC to see if it was a keyboard issue (I know, I'm smart like that), and it worked fine. I have not installed any programs lately, and it just started happening. Restarting does not work.
When attempting to assign a key to a shortcut in Visual Studio, the Ctrl+Tab combination does not validate, but Ctrl+Shift+Tab does. However, in my Logitech G-Series profile manager, I can assign that command to one of the extra keys, and it validates, but it still does not work!
What could be the reason behind this?
I am using Windows 8.1.
Running Windows in Safe Mode makes the problem go away, but not when running with a clean boot (as suggested by @Ramhound). Malwarebytes and Windows Defender report 0 threats.
Answer
If you have NVidia Geforce Experience installed, a recent update is breaking the use of the ctrl+tab key. I had the same issue and fixed it by reinstalling Geforce Experience.
Here's a thread on NVidia's forums with others reporting the same issue: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/776837/?comment=4316352
