I'm having trouble with it intermittently. The issue is always with CTRL-NUMPAD-0.  The regular top-row CTRL-0 works just fine, but my habit is to use the numpad 0.  Also, sometimes, ALT commands (ALT-F for File) won't respond.  Closing PS and reopening gets things working again.

Make sure you haven't accidentally pressed the Num Lock key.

First thing I checked. And it works in other programs (I set up a custom shortcut in CorelDraw to do the same thing, and it works there.)

 

Also, now it's not working at all.  I've restarted Photoshop, and it still doesn't work.  Yesterday, it worked sometimes.  I'll try to see if some other condition is causing the problem over the course of the day today.

I just finished updating, and it works as always, under Window 10.

In photoshop go to Help>System Info and make sure you have Adobe Photoshop Version 23.3.2

 

Anyway, Ctrl+0 works here on windows 10 with 23.3.2

oh wow. How weird. I guess I have not updated yet so I have not noticed.

 

You can try creating a short cut key for the menu item. Go to Edit>Keyboard shortcuts.... Then in the menu list, find the VIEW, and toggle it open, and then scroll down until you see Zoom In, Zoom out, and then Fit On Screen.  try changing the keyboard shortcut, or adding one if it is missing, and see if that works. Hope so!

Cheers,
