Ctrl+Shift+N not working on clean install of Windows 11

Hello.

I ran into issue after I wanted to create new folder in Explorer with Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut. It doesn't work. I tried it in Microsoft Edge - it should open new private window, but nothing happens too.

I have new laptop - Asus TUF Dash F15 2022 (FX517ZM_FX517ZM) in configuration with i5-12450H, RTX 3060, 144 Hz 1080p panel and 1TB of storage.
Came without Windows, so I installed Windows 11 Pro and activated licence. I have also updated drivers waited Windows Update to finish. So far I only installed Asus Armory Crate as well as Dolby Access from product support downloads. No other apps.

After I restart my device and log in, the shortcut works for very limited time (like 7 seconds - I can create new folder or open new private window in browser), after that it stops working again. It is very frustrating.

I tried some other shortcuts with Ctrl and Shift:

Ctrl + Shift + E in file explorer;
Ctrl + Shift + S in MS Edge;

Ctrl + Shift + P in MS Edge;

Ctrl + Shift + Esc

All works!

Stand alone keys Ctrl, Shift, N Works as well.

    Update.

    So I figured it out. It was C-Media Audio Control Panel which was installed automatically with drivers. It runs in background and allows you to switch between audio devices.

    For some reason it has shortcut for showing version of it binded to Ctrl+Shift+N...Image

    How do I change this shortcut?

    I think you cannot, since the Control Panel has no settings. But you can remove the program, I had no problems so far.
