Shortcuts don't work

My keyboard shortcuts on Windows haven't been working for a little while now. Other Adobe apps don't have this issue.

I tried all the reset options, deleting and re-installing it, of course the preferences in the app itself… Nothing changes the fact that the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work. What now?

    Sometimes Windows region/language/keyboard layout settings can interfere with Photoshop language version. Check everything there. Different languages do nomally work fine, but sometimes it can trip up.

     

    Also try ctrl+shift+alt+K, which always seems to work. It brings up the shortcuts dialog. Just hit Enter to commit. Do the shortcuts work now?

    ​@dew_3937  Please be a bit more specific when you say the shortcuts don't seem to be working.

    Which shortcuts doesn’t work, all or only some?

    Do you’ve tried another workspace?

    Which version of Photoshop do you’ve installed?

    Which Windows version?

    What has been changed on your system before the issue occur?
