How to create a new folder in Win10 and why does the old shortcut Alt+F, W, F no longer work?

I know in Win10's Explorer the keyboard shortcut for create new folder is Ctrl+Shift+N, but why does Alt-F-W-F no longer work?

 

Ctrl+Shift+Z shortcut unassignable

Here are the quick answers to your questions, and following, a more develop explanations.

1. Ctrl+Shift+Z is an already existing basic, known shortcut in all Adobe softwares for the "Redo" action. I am trying to use it and it’s not doing anything. Ctrl+Alt+V is a shortcut I am trying to assign to an action in the ebook conversion software Sigil.

2. Ctrl+Shift+Z for the already existing shortcut of the "Redo" action in Adobe softwares. Ctrl+Alt+V to a specific function in Sigil.

3. Ctrl+Shift+Z in all the Adobe Creative Suite, Ctrl+Alt+V in Sigil.

Actually the issue happened when I started my work on InDesign yesterday. As you must know, Ctrl+Shift+Z is a very common, basic shortcut for the "Redo" action. After that, I opened up Sigil and tried to assign Ctrl+Alt+V to a certain action, which is the
setting I put previously in my old laptop using Windows 8.

Then, when I noticed both didn’t work, I opened a software that makes me able to remap my keyboard and assign new keystrokes, key combinations, or even macro, to a single key (SteelSeries software going with my MSI gaming laptop), and tried different key
combinations. I saw that Ctrl+Shift+A was fully detected for exemple, but if I press Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Alt+V, the software only detects Ctrl+Shift or Ctrl+Alt, and not the letter going to it.

Here is a screenshot of some tests I did in the SteelSeries software, testing key combinations. I tried Ctrl+Shift combined with respectively those letters, in this order: w / x / y / z

As you can see, the combinations with the W and with the Y are detected, but with the X and the Z, they aren’t. And if I tried to assigned as shortcut the combinations with the X and the Z in any software, they are also not detected.





Also, Ctrl+Alt+V is not detected anywhere as mentioned, but Shift+Ctrl+V is detected. Ctrl+Alt+Z and +X are also not detected. But any letter with only Ctrl, only Shift or only Alt are detected.

So the issue is happening in multiple softwares and seems to come from some letters not being detected when used in combination with Ctrl+Shift or Ctrl+Alt. Very weird.... I hope my explanations are clear.

 

Ctrl+Shift+F stopped working

I use CTRL+SHIFT+F in various programs to perform a 'Find in Files' function. (Visual Studio & Atom for example)

• Other CTRL+SHIFT functions work (+H
  & +G for instance work fine in those same programs)
  
• Tried this same keyboard in another system and
  CTRL+SHIFT+F works fine
  (F key works fine in those same programs)
  
• Tried removing the device in the device manager for the keyboard
  and re-discovering
  
• Tried resetting the settings configurations for the programs
  that used this shortcut - nothing
  
• Tried this online keyboard tester (Key-Test - keyboard test online) and
  the shortcut works there
  
• Windows On-Screen Keyboard also cannot perform
  CTRL+SHIFT+F in those programs
  
• Tried repairing Visual Studio which essentially re-installs it and reinstalling Atom
  

I'm not sure what else to try. It stopped working when I upgraded from one Visual Studio version to the next available however it also simultaneously stopped working in Atom. Are there some other areas of settings that need to be flushed? I have to assume that was just a coincidence...
