Based on your description, this is almost certainly an Nvidia driver problem.
A recently updated graphics driver is the direct cause, and it's a common issue where new drivers can interfere with system-level functions like hotkeys and screen blanking.

Check the Nvidia Control Panel for a setting called "Desktop > Enable Desktop Menu" and ensure it is turned on, as this can affect hotkey functionality.
