Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check Keyboard Language

Ensure you aren't in a language where the keys are different (e.g., AZERTY).

2

Disable Background Apps

Apps like AutoHotKey or Discord might be "Stealing" the shortcut.

3

Reset Shortcuts

In app settings, restore keyboard mappings to default.

When to See a Technician

Sometimes the "Fn" or "F-Lock" key on your keyboard is toggled, changing how the top row behaves.
