Keyboard shortcut for foreground color picker in photoshop doesn't work

I always set a keyboard shortcut for the foreground color picker in Photoshop to accelerate my professional workflow. After the update, I found I could no longer call out the foreground colour picker by pressing the key I set up for this function. 

I couldn't revert to the older version as it seems that Adobe deleted all of them. This error completely interrupts my workflow, and I feel very frustrated. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Is there any solution to it?

What exact version of Photoshop? What version of Windows? Bug reports require basic information. For example, on Intel Mac 12.7.5 and Ps 25.9.1 this works without issue.

 

This could be scripted with a custom keyboard shortcut applied to the installed script as a workaround.

 

#target photoshop

// Foreground Color Picker.jsx
// Use false as the parameter for the Background Color Picker

app.showColorPicker(true);

Yes, currently having this problem. I set mine to the Z key, really frustrating that it isn't working now :/. I have tried reassigning it and relaunching. Doesn't work!
