Windows 10: Certain keys do odd functions???

I have a Windows 10 Lenovo gaming laptop. Before, when I used to press Fn and left or right arrow, I could turn volume up or down. Now nothing happens.

Also, at least F1, F2, F3, and F12 all cause my laptop to go to sleeping mode. Before this of course did not happen. This all started today.

Have I accidentally turned on some setting? Or what could be the reason?

Edit: now pressing arrows without Fn let's me change volume, and with Fn pressed it won't. So is the Fn key broken?
