Stop Horizon Client Capturing Windows Key

I have multiple Dekstops on my Windows computer 1) for personal and 2) for work.

The issue is when I'm in my work Desktop (and VDI) I can't use the command Windows + Control + Left or Right arrow to swtich between Desktops because the VDI client annoyingly captures the command. I have to manuall click out of the VDI screen and then switch desktops. It's SUPER ANNOYING! I don't switch Desktops in my VDI. How can I stop the VDI Capturing Windows + Control + Left or Right  or the entire Windows / Hot Key.

There's no way to exclude that specific key press from going to your desktop and all the rest to the VDI.

You can however first press CTRL+ALT to release the keyb/mouse from the Horizon Client/VDI, then press the necessary keys to change you desktop.
