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.

    Word from the Word product team is that version 2412 should include a fix for this.

    It is out, at least here in the USA. Try running an update.

    Same isssue, this is crazy how this is not found during testing and that it actually took this long for them to fix this! Automation testing at its best!

    I suggest a different approach: let's all switch to Google Docs and it will be fixed in notime.
