Show Desktop keyboard shortcut always reverts to F11 after restart

Hello.. I have been trying to change the keyboard shortcut for "Show Desktop" as I need to free up F11 that it is set to by default. I can change it... and all is good.. but then when the machine is restarted it always reverts to F11. Am I missing something or is this a bug? MacMini M2, on MacOS 15.1.1


Thanks





Mac mini, macOS 15.1

Hi Randall, thanks for the suggestion. II looked under the section in settings you mentioned and found the place where Mission Control keyboard shortcuts are:


I still think there is an issue where the settings in the first screenshot were not saved to disk. I say this because I was even removing any keyboard shortcut from "Show Desktop" and it was still coming back as F11 the next restart. With the screen you suggested, I have disabled the show desktop option all together, and that seems to persist across restarts so it serves my needs now.


Many thanks
