Windows 10: Media keys stopped working after clean installing Windows 10

Hello all. So I own an Asus Vivobook Pro laptop and I recently performed a clean install of Windows 10 and is now up to date with version 1903. However, I noticed that my media keys are now not responding at all when I use Spotify huge user or even for youtube videos in Google Chrome. In addition, some of my function keys f3 to f9 are not working either and I really want to know why or where I have gone wrong.

After some research, I have tried some of the following solutions such as the ones stated below but none of them worked.

01 - Configuring the 'Human Interface Device' service
02 - Hardware media handling disabled in Google Chrome Google Play Music is not in my extension list
03 - Changing my default music player app to something else instead of Groove Music
04 - Finding automatic updates for my keyboard driver

Would be great if I could receive some suggestions and answers. Thank you!

:)

 

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

Where exactly did you get this "windows pro" key from? If it's off eBay or something, then perhaps you've been sold a dud key. Also, it's not clear if you mean you bought windows 10 pro or an earlier version of windows as there's no such thing as "windows pro".

Do you have an Windows 7 or 8.1? If so, install that, download the ISO with the media creation tool and burn it to disc. Then run it as an upgrade. After that, the components hash of your PC will give you a digital entitlement for a clean install, so just bought off that disc, wipe the partitions and install it clean. It will auto activate over the internet once installed.
