Does FN+F4 mute your microphone? W10

I usually use discord to talk with my friends, and I'm wondering if Fn+f4 actually mutes your microphone like the normal mute button. I searched it up and it says no, but I'm on windows 10 and I think that's for Windows 11.

 

After Windows 11 Update, Fn+F4 Mute Hotkey does not mute microphone

I am used to using the Fn+F4 shortcut on my ASUS TUF Gaming F15 keyboard to mute the microphone whenever I need to do so. Unfortunately, the function does not work anymore shortly after the most recent Windows 11 update (December 7, 2021). It shows on the screen that the microphone should be muted, but upon testing it with software in the system that uses the microphone, they still register the mic input.



Unfortuantely, rolling back the update is not an option for me as it is not available and I have tried the following steps from the following forums in an attempt to resolve the issue but have not worked.

The issue also affected my Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming Laptop which uses Windows 11 too. However, it was affected by earlier updates (November 2021), but the description of the malfunction still stands.

Can anyone please help with this issue? Thank you very much in advance.

The version for the ASUS laptop and Lenovo laptop is Windows 11 Home Version 21H2.

Hi Cap Captan,

I am Dave, I will help you with this, Windows does not have an Fn + F4 mute action in Windows 10 or 11.

Do you have a mute key on your keyboard?

What is the Make and exact Model No. of your PC/Laptop?
