    Ctrl shift n is not working


    Ctrl shift n is not working in any program. Nether chrome nether windows explorer. After I installed the avast secure browser the ctrl shift n was set to open this program. I tried to disable it. I tried to uninstall the program and then the ctrl shift n didn't worked at all. I reinstalled it and the problem keeps the same. Researched a lot and got no solution. Please help me

    :)

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

    Hi

    The extremely useful shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+'n') within File Explorer has suddenly stopped working.

    There was an automatic Windows update a few days ago and I believe the last time I used the shortcuts was before this update. These shortcuts worked as follows...

    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

    Elsewhere I have seen a couple of other Windows 10 users reporting the same issue but I have not yet tracked down a fix.

    As far as I can tell all of my other keyboard shortcuts are working.

    I am on a 9 month old Dell Inspiron 17 5770 Laptop.

    Is there a setting I can apply to get the shortcuts back please?

    Thanks in advance

    Rick

    CTRL+SHIFT+8 and some others not working

    Okay thanks. Didn't know that tool.
    It does list Ctrl+Shift+, 3 & 8. But it doesn't say what they're registered to. (And nothing seems to happen when I press them.)

    The tool turns up a very short list, by the way, compared to the screenshots on that site. Just these three plus:
    Hot Key : Alt+Ctrl+Delete
    Hot Key : Alt+Ctrl+J (I know what this is from)
    Hot Key : Alt+Ctrl+K (Kindle)
    Hot Key : Alt+F4

    Ctrl shift n is not working

    Ctrl + N not working

    Both the Ctrl and N keys are working separately but any app with a ctrl + n shortcut isn't detecting it. Other shortcuts like ctrl+x, ctrl+v, ctrl+b etc work, just not ctrl+n. This is an issue with both left and right control. I've tried changing from a
    UK keyboard to a US one but no joy.
