Is this a new issue that just started?

 

Most often, when keyboard shortcuts stop working it's because another app (sometimes a browser) has taken them over. Try this:

  • Quit Photoshop
  • Shut down your computer, then relaunch it
  • Open only Photoshop and confirm no other applications are open
  • Do your shortcuts work now?

What are your region/language settings for application/OS/keyboard? English or something else?

 

I've noticed that keyboard language can occassionaly get reset by accidentally hitting some Windows-native shortcuts. I have English OS/application, but Norwegian keyboard layout. I never bothered to figure out exactly which OS shortcuts, I just quickly correct it from the system tray on the taskbar:

 


Worked for me!! Thanks was debugging for way to long to find thin simple fix 🙂
