Up/left/right work OK, Down - no reaction. F8, Transition keys - all checked, all disabled.  All keys work fine separately. To select a column I now have to go down with Ctrl+Down and then up with ...

    hey there, I'm the author of this thread. So from what I discovered, apparently it's related to the keyboard itself. Apparently, some built-in block in its drivers or smth. 

    I confirmed that it's a keyboard issue, since I first used it on my home PC and what made me create this question. 

    I then found a new job where I didn't like the keyboard and I bought a new one for my home PC and brought my old one to the office.

    When I plugged my old one to the work PC the issue appeared on it and when I bought a new one for my home, the issue disappeared on it. 
    So there you go. The anti-ctrl+shift+down keyboard I have is Thermaltake Challenger Prime RGB Gaming Keyboard from Thermaltake Challenger Prime RGB Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Combo

Hey nekku,

 

I know this post is a bit older, but this has been the only one describing my exact problem. Every other combination of buttons works perfectly fine, but ctrl+shift+down (arguably the most important of the bunch) doesn't.

 

Please tell me you have been able to find a solution that didn't involve getting a new computer or reinstalling excel.

 

Kind regards.
