I'm currently using Microsoft 365 and while using word, my shortcut key for Bold option automatically change from 'Ctrl+B' to 'Ctrl+ N'
I have to change it back to 'Ctrl + B' manually (several times) but it keeps automatically changing to 'Ctrl + N' again and again. It is quite annoying.
I change my shortcut for Bold option back to 'crtl + B' as inserted picture
Please let me know how to set 'Ctrl + B' as a shortcut key for Bold option permamently.
Thanks a lot.

This seems to have worked perfectly, and as an additional action, removed CTRL-N from the list of potential shortcuts for Bold. Thank you
Since a few days my alteration to the settings has not been changed overnight. It seems that the problem has been resolved, so i am slightly optimistic. To be clear, before then i would alter the settings to have ctrl + B be the combination for bold, but each night they would revert back to ctrl + N, so i just changed it daily. Now it seems to stay the way i want it to.
I hope that it stays this way!

That is good news.
