Premiere Pro hotkeys not working

Question

Hello,

I have been trying to fix this problem now for 4 hours...

No hotkeys are working in my premiere pro (version 15.2). I can't copy and paste and no quicksaving using ctrl + s. (no hotkeys are working)

I tried reinstalling, deleting my preferences, resetting the workspace (single monitor setup), cleaning the cache, etc. I basically went through the first two pages on google and no solution worked for me.

If you tell me what you need I can give you more information.

The default keyboard shortcuts are located here:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2024\Keyboard Shortcuts\en

Paste the below into File Explorer and it will take you to the Preferences folder

%UserName%\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\24.0

Inside the folder above will be your profile folder, open that, and then "Win"

Copy "Adobe Premiere Pro Defaults.kys" from the Program Files folder (above) into the Win folder.

You should also copy that file a second time and rename it something like MyerKeys.kys

Start PP and check the Keyboard shortcuts from the EDIT menu, select one of those two files if one is not already selected.
