Hey, @Easy Trigger Games Audio. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. Thanks for adding the details. I've tried to recreate it on a device with no other apps running in the background.

Does your device have an Nvidia GPU? There are a few keyboard shortcuts for Nvidia Overlay that might overtake the user input and not let it reach Photoshop. This is an image from the Nvidia Overlay:

You can customize these shortcuts. Try this:

1 - Press ALT + Z to open Nvidia Overlay

2 - Click the Gear icon in the top corner > go to Shortcuts.

Here is a GIF for quick reference:

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!
