Hey there, if anyone can help me fix this issue I would appreciate this!

My photoshop is fully functional but now won´t let me click any keyboard shortcuts meaning I cannot paste images etc.

I have tried everything I can think of to fix this such as google searches, updating, system restart, preference and key shortcuts reset to defaults and nothing works!

Pls help!

Yes I have tried resetting preferences both in PS and manually in files I have restarted my comp, even reinstalled PS and nothing. It does however work in safe mode but opening safemode everytime I want to use photoshop is not ideal.

Thankyou for your response

Try shift+right-clicking the Photoshop exe and choosing Run as Adminstrator - do they work then?

Have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences?

Go to Photoshop Preferences/General and click the reset button.

Quit and Relaunch PS.

Otherwise try restaring your computer and launching only Photoshop.

Chrome and Office products have been known to hijack shortcuts depending on user settings.
