control + other keyboard shortcuts are not working

[luka.e.k]

Hi,

Since I updated to the latest version of Photoshop (v25.91), all my keyboard shortcuts have stopped working. I cannot "Ctrl + S" to save or even switch tools or deselect. My keyboard works fine in other applications. I am running Windows 10 and have been using this same exact setup to work with Photoshop in the past.

What I have to do to fix this:

Uninstall / reinstall Photoshop
Reset preferences
Reset keyboard preferences
Reset shortcuts
Reset workspaces
Tried using an older version of Photoshop (22.2)

I can do most things with my mouse, but this obviously is very slow. Any tips on how to fix this?
