    New laptop FN keys not working [Solved]

    Ummm, that is normal - depending on the function you are doing (assuming I understand what you are saying).

    On a notebook, the Fn key is like a shift key that switches in a different set of functions for the F-Keys.

    For example, in Windows pressing the F5 key typically refreshes the display. In File Explorer, it will refresh the displayed files. In a browser, it will refresh (reload) the webpage. But pressing Fn + F5 does something different, depending on your notebook. On my Toshiba notebook, if I hold down the Fn key and press F5, it switches the video output of my notebook between the notebook monitor, a connected external monitor, or both.
