Windows 10: F11 does not work even after fix

Hi!My F11-button isn't working, tried several applications including Chrome and Edge.I found an answer before about this and followed it.Go into the device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the PC. I did it and it worked... For like five presses of the button.Weird.So, it's back to not working at all, in any app.Now, I tried way before this to just buy a new keyboard, I wanted a spare one anyway, assuming it was my old keyboard getting old.So the problem isn't the specific keyboard unit.I've tried a lot of fixes from different forums, I've troubleshooted troubleshot? the keyboar
