Namaste from india.
I am using altium since 3 years.
I am getting a problem regarding altium single layer mode,
Till sometimes back i was comfortably using this tool(shift+s).
Suddenly i am getting a difficulty using PCB designer.
I am attaching a screenshot of setting pages.
The setting looks good to me but when I press shift+s anything doesn't happen.on screen. Ideally it should cycle in 3 modes.
I gone through many altium resources on internet, doesn't worked.
Wise people out here please suggest.

Yes, that is how it should work. Maybe a bug? I would upgrade to the latest version of altium.

PS: Possibly, some other software is using SHIFT+S?

Do note that the drawing area must be active for most shortcuts. For instance, if you just clicked somewhere in the properties panel, then that panel is active and the keyboard shortcut does not work. It is the same for most (all?) at least letter/digit shortcuts.
