Ctrl+Alt+Z opens Notepad?

Instead of Step Backward, ctrl+alt+z open Notepad. It doesn't seem to matter what program I'm in; it always opens Notepad. As far as I can tell, everything else seems to work. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Right click on the Notepad shortcut, then Properties and Shortcut and see if a Shortcut key is set.

That did it! I'd been looking for something like that, but didn't know there was an option like that. Thank you.

Have you added anything into Windows the may do that?  If Notepads starts in All Applications it is not Photoshop the woul be doing that.  It would more likely something like a Windows device driver.  Have you installed any special gamming keyboard software?

I had considered that. I have Logitech Options, but I can't find anything that would set keyboard shortcuts.

I have Logictech Gaming software and use it for my Logictech G13 keyboard and g502 mouse.  The G13 is a gamming keypad not anything like a normal keyboard.   If you have a Logictech Gaming keyboard the look like a regular keyboard I would think the Logictech gamming software would display the way you have keys mapped.   On my g13 and G502 that is the case and I may make a keys to multiple keys but multiple keys I do not map to a Photoshop.  Make sure you have not mapped a normal key like Alt, Crtl or Z to something else.
