Keyboard Shortcuts disappear

I have a set of App-specific keyboard shortcuts I’ve been using regularly for years.


In the last few days they’ve suddenly stopped.


If I then check at Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts at the System Settings, they’ve all gone! I reset a few of the absolutely essential ones, and a bit later they’ve gone again.


Anyone know what might be causing this?

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Do you have any 3rd party utility applications installed? Like CleanMyMac, Keyboard Maestro, Typinator,

Anti-Virus?

One good way to test is to reboot into safe mode to see if the problem carries over or goes away. If it goes away, something is interfering with just your main login profile. If it doesn't go away, it's system wide problem.
