I create a shortcut to sleep my computer in system settings / keyboard / app shortcuts / all applications.

How come please ?
Mac mini (M2 Pro, 2023)
Those shortcuts are stored in a hidden, Global preference file, ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreference.plist
You can try deleting that file and it will get recreated. Maybe then it won't go away.
Text Replacements are also stored in that file, so it might be better to try and open it with TextEdit, look for any oddities, then save it.
There are also a lot of random settings stored in that file.
To show hidden files in the Finder, type: cmd-shift-.
That shortcut doesn't work on some keyboard layouts.

You seem impatient.
Did you try adding the shortcuts back?
nobody knows ?
Why nobody answer please ?
Im not impatient lol i just dont understand i obtain no answer.
Yes of course i add the shortcut back it works but i know already it could dissapear so i want to know how it is possible...
We're all just volunteers here checking in when we can. I certainly have no idea what the problem might be. Maybe others don't either.
Ok thank you for your answer Barney.
The problem happened again, any idea ?
