By default, in many web browsers holding down the control key and pressing a number will navigate to that tab (e.g. CTRL + 4 opens the fourth tab).

However, in Windows 8.1, this keyboard shortcut is overrided by Windows, which uses it to switch windows to different monitors.

How can this shortcut be disabled so other apps can use their intended shortcuts?

CTRL+4 is not a standard Windows 8 shortcut key.

You've got a 3rd party application/utility of some kind overriding it.

Check out this other SU question: How can I determine which process owns a hotkey in Windows?

Determine which software that is (by using above info and perhaps MSconfig) and reconfigure or stop it.
