Create Outlines shortcut not working (Shift + Ctrl + O)

Keyboard command Ctrl + Shift + O does not "create outlines" for text. I have to manually go to Type > Create Outlines

    Find what other apps are using this specific shortcut key, and make sure you disable it for them. In many cases, it's the AMD Software; go to HotKeys in the app settings, and turn that off. That keybinding conflict will be instantly resolved.

    John, when you check Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, Menu Commands, Type — does it have the hotkey defined there?
    Can you see the hotkey displayed in Type menu next to the command’s name?
    By any chance — do you have CapsLock pressed?
    Have you installed any apps recently that can potentially mess with keys? If you run Illustrator and nothing but Illustrator — does the hotkey work?
    Have you noticed any other similar command failing their shortcut?
