Keyboard Shortcuts stops working after a while in InDesign 2020 on Windows 10

Question

I am editing some files that i've created 2 months ago. Each file is no longer than 2 pages long with only 3-5 images each. I've noticed since the latest update that after working on couple of files (2-5 files) any existing file I try to edit, it starts glitching; For example i cannot delete a text box, Add picture, replace image etc. Although changing colors of the existing file works.
 
If I try to perform same tasks using mouse and menu it all works fine. but simple tasks such as pasting text, cut, copy etc all keyboard shortcuts stops working.
 
If i close inDesign or the file and open it again it seems to be working fine. Almost every 3rd-4th file is facing this same issue. Any idea what could be done to fix this issue?
 
InDesign version 15.1.1
Windows 10 i9-9900K [64 GB RAM] RTX2080Ti

Hi there,

Sorry about the delay. These issues are generally caused when the shortcuts keys conflicts with other applications. I am hopeful that the issue was fixed. If not, try booting the system into Safe Mode (https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode) and check how it works there. It starts your system so that it performs certain checks and prevents third party software/ services from automatically loading or opening. If it works fine in Safe mode, then there is some third party service or application like antivirus, plugins or web extensions which are conflicting with the InDesign.

Feel free to let us know if you still need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Regards,

Srishti
