Ctrl+(LEFT)Shift+P doesn't open a private window

Right shift does work and opens a private window, but left shift does not.

The issue persists in safe mode/troubleshoot mode. I don't have permanent private browsing mode on. I can still open private windows by clicking on the "New private window" option, if that's of concern.

Troubleshooting data is attached.

Thanks for any help!
