Photoshop doesn't recognize keys

Question

Hello,I have a really weird problem: Photoshop CC 2017 (latest version updated through the application manager) doesn't recognize my keys. Well, not totally, it's weird to describe. I'll give it a shot:I start PS and try to create a new file -> Ctrl + NDoesn't work, nothing happens. I then create a document manually and try to switch to the brush -> BNo reaction. Its the same with all keys: Rectangle tool, Select everything, swap colors etc...When I am in the brush tool for example and I press the modifier keys, I see that they are being registered, I see for example the color picker or the duplicate cursor.When I look into the keyboard shortcuts, everything is looking normal. When I try to reassign for example "New document" to Ctrl + N, PS doesn't recognize the keys.I tried with Illustrator, Experience Design and a bunch of non Adobe programs and everything is working perfectly. It only happens with Photoshop. I made sure that no other program is running while I tested everything and I already reseted PS and also did a new install.I'm on a Windows 10 64bit Thinkpad T450s with latest updates. No external keyboard, no Wacom tablet and my copy of PS is an original (apparently a crack can mess with the shortcuts).Can someone help me with this?Daniel

When you use a brush how do you use it without clicking on the image which is what I asked you to do when the problem happens. If you click on the image you have done what I asked you to do to make sure Photoshop has focus.
