Windows 10: Ctrl-N function not working on File Explorer - Windows 11

One of the function key shortcuts I use the most is the Ctrl-N while File Explorer is open. That would open a new instance and easily allow me to drag files from one location to another between windows. Since using Windows 11 this Ctrl function works sporadically. Some times it may work but often it does not. Has anyone else experienced this behavior which started with Windows 11?

Windows 10 File Explorer shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+'n'

Hi

I posted a question about this 3 years ago and I wondered if anyone has found a solution?

As a reminder, File Explorer should allow you to quickly switch views using Ctrl+Shift+'n', e.g.

Ctrl+Shift+1 Change View to Extra Large Icons

Ctrl+Shift+2 Change View to Large Icons

Ctrl+Shift+3 Change View to Medium Icons

Ctrl+Shift+4 Change View to Small Icons

Ctrl+Shift+5 Change View to List View

Ctrl+Shift+6 Change View to Details View

Following a Windows 10 upgrade 3 years I changed my Word spellchecker to default to English (UK) from English (US) and the Change View stopped functioning. I proved it was this that caused the problem by switching it back and forth a few times resulting in it working then non-working.

I'm not looking for a long-winded fix for something so minor, such as suggested by someone on my original post, but has anyone had the same issue and managed to resolve it?

Thanks in advance

Rick
