all docs, doesnt matter what it is. I just uninstalled PS, and reinstalled to see if maybe that will fix it.

Cmd+J duplicates the layer not the channel.

 

By default there is no shortcut assigned to duplicate channel. In versions prior to v21.1 you could right click a channel and choose duplicate channel. Due to a bug, that right click context menu does not work in v21.1 so you need the drop down menu at the top right of the channels panel.

Channels or layers? How exactly are you trying to duplicate? What colour mode?
