    Everytime I restart my Dell XPS 15, certain keyboard commands change


    I got my Dell XPS 15 about 8 months ago, so far it is working fine except for a certain issue. Everytime I restart/ shut down my laptop the commands for the brightness, volume,screenshots and such change. Sometimes I have to hold down the FN key to activate the commands, whereas other times I don't. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? It's inconvenient and annoying so I would really appreciate anyone that has figured out how to fix this! Thank you!

    :)

    Dell XPS 15 audio problems with driver_power_state_failure BSODs

    I had a similar issue. Everytime I SHUT DOWN my DELL XPS 15 9550 and switched it on again (NO RESTART) there was no sound. Only a REBOOT/RESTART could solve the issue.

    However, I removed the AUDIO DRIVER completley and downloaded it again from the DELL website to install it again seemed to have solved this issue.

    Dell XPS 15 (L502x) keyboard not working after November windows 10 update

    Today I received the November Windows 10 update, after this was installed on my Dell laptop XPS 15 (L502x) I am unable to use the laptop keyboard or the touchpad.

    I can see that the Device Manager shows HID Keyboard and Lenvo thinkpad devices were changed this morning at the time of the upgrade I have a dell laptop xps15 and a separate Logitech MK320 keyboard, so I am uncertain that the correct devices have been installed.

    Has anyone had a similar issue and could they suggest a resolution to the issue.

    Regards

    Steve
