  1. f1 through f3 and f7 and f8 don't work.


    It's Feb 17 2024 and I updated my Win 11 pc. after that," I wanted to decrease the volume on my PC, so I pressed the F2 key.", but it didn't work properly. It also happened to f1 and f3 I use Google Chrome as my default browser. F1 opens the "Google Chrome Help", F2 does nothing, and F3 turns on the "Find and Edit" feature.I also tried decreasing the brightness level but nothing happened.I am not sure which button I clicked that caused this problem, but I am confused.

    :)

    f1 through f3 and f7 and f8 don't work.

    Volume function keys (F1 - F3) not working properly

    My F1 to F3 function keys (which also double as mute, vol down, and vol up) don't work as they should. Whenever I press these keys it refreshes my screen and bugs out for a few seconds - can't seem to find a similar problem anywhere.

    • Running: Windows 11 (Build 22533.1001)
    • Device: Dell XPS 13 9370.
    I know I am on a dev build of windows and this only happened after a recent update but has anyone got any ideas how I might be able to fix it. (All of my FN keys work normally apart from these 3). I already tried reinstalling keyboard drivers etc.

    This might help as well:

    • Pressing Fn lock + F1 opens support page in browsers
    • Pressing Fn lock + F3 opens find in browsers (The same as Ctrl + F would)
    I know someone is going to put this as a solution: just turn off/on function lock, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
