I solved it by unchecking the box which you can see in the following screenshot. Ease of access English version

Go to Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make the Keyboard Easier to Use

Then search for the setting "Make it easier to manage windows" and un-check the option "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen"

After unchecking this option, it works again.

Go to Settings -> System -> Multitasking

The first section in the Multitasking settings is called Snap.  I had the first four items in the list set to Off.  When I changed them to On, it (moving windows with Windows+Shift+ / (Right / Left arrow key) started working again.

An alternative method of moving desktop applications using the keyboard, is to open the application system menu by pressing ALT + Space and then press m to select move. Then you can use the arrow keys to move the application window. I regularly use this to move applications that are placed outside my desktop.

Note that this will not work if "move" is disabled in the application. Which will be the case if the application is maximized.

This method also works when "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen" is checked in the control panel.

A couple things that can prevent this key combo from working are:

  1. Filter Keys is turned on.

    Open the "Ease of Access Keyboard Settings" page and disable this feature.

    Filter Keys Off

  2. GPO: "Turn off Windows+X hotkeys" is enabled.

    Do the reverse of what this article details. This is less likely to cause the issue, as having this enabled did not prevent the hotkey from working in my tests, but I suppose it's theoretically possible.

I may add additional causes if I discover any, but I hope this helps resolve your current issue. :)
