I've had this problem show up before and I don't know what causes it.

I expect CTRL+S to save the workbook but instead, it's putting it into full screen, hiding my headings, and hiding my tabs... How do I fix this?
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Sounds as though you have a macro that has been assigned to that shortcut

The only way I know is to use F8 to bring up a list of your macros & then select each in turn & click options to see if there is a shortcut.

F8 doesn't bring up anything. It appears that is messed up too...

Oops, that should have been Alt F8

Do you have any add-ins installed?

In that case the only other thing I can think of is if one of your macros uses SendKeys.

Try opening Excel in safe mode & see if it still happens.
