  1. Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard FN key


    Hello,


    I bought this new keyboard, that MS released recently in October. I like it, but which I was afraid of, happens.

    Combination Ctrl + FN + Win key + Fkeys do not work.


    For example Ctrl + Win + F4 should close virtual desktop, but on this keyboard Fkeys are secondary, so I need to hold FN. And that doesn't work.

    Is it possible to set Fkeys as primary?


    Marek

    :)

    Getting "special" keys on Apple Bluetooth Keyboard to work with Win 10


    I have Windows 10 (upgraded from Win 7.1) installed on an iMac on a Bootcamp partition. When I was running Windows 7.1, all the function keys (to control brightness, volume, music playing) worked perfectly. Now under Windows 10 none of them work. And yes, I did go into the setup and try turning on and off the check box for whether or not the keys performed as Function keys with and without holding the FN key.
    Any ideas/suggestions? If I go into Bluetooth devices, the keyboard is shown properly as an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
    Thanks.

  3. FN key always on

    To clarify, I was saying "Accessibility" features maybe be controlled via the BIOS, not the Fn keys. And one of the Accessibility features makes the keys "sticky". This allows folks with some disabilities to press, for example, the Ctrl key, then the Alt key, and then Del in sequence instead of all at once. Same with the Fn key. The sticky feature would let you first press the Fn key, and then the F9 key (for example) and not Fn + F9 at the same time to enable/disable whatever Fn + F9 does with that notebook (it is the touchpad on my Toshiba).

    Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard FN key

    Windows 10 FN Key issues.

    Very disappointed that my model is not listed. After spending two days searching online for an answer to the Fn key problem, I really don't want to roll back to 8.1. I have plugged in a spare keyboard as a temporary solution. I will do some more research
    as the Fn key is the only issue I have with Windows 10 so far. I called Toshiba today and their only suggestion was to call Microsoft and gave me their phone #....there is a 1.5 hour wait...
