    I used to have this happen sometimes (Lr3 or maybe Lr2), but I haven't seen it for a long time - never had a clue what caused it, or why it stopped happening. I did buy a new keyboard - maybe that was it...

    There is also the possibility that they are old presets being used, not sure how this would affect the crtl-z but you never know!!

    Personally I'd remove the Preference file and see if that solves the problem as a first step.

    Ctrl + Z undoes the last step. If the step before had a preset applied, then that's what you get with Ctrl + Z.

    Hmmm ...

    Just curious: what is the preset? One of Lr's default presets? one that you created? Develop preset?

    If that is true, then it's only on your computer.  What is happening that makes you believe Lightroom is applying a preset?

    I'm having exactly the same problem! And it just started today, so maybe a recent update/plugin did it?

    If you google "ctrl + z not working" a lot of stuff comes up where this stopped working in various programs.

    Also, ctrl. + z works (if it does) across many programs and in Windows itself.

    From this I conclude that it is possibly / probably a Windows problem, not a Lr problem.

    All of you who report that ctrl + z doesn't work in Lr do a simple test: does it work in other programs?

    It would be a Lr problem only if it works everywhere but not in Lr.
