    F5 key suddenly not working


    So.. I got a curios problem.
    My F5 key doesn't work any more. Or does it?

    I have a Logitech G910 Keyboard.


    When hitting the key alone. Nothing happens. Neither LGS (Logitech Gaming Software - aka the driver software) nor Windows or any other program seem to notice.
    But when using a key combination, the keystroke is noticed. For example in Firefox: Ctrl + F5 is working.


    I tried the F5 on this keyboard on different devices and on all the others it seems to work just fine.


    Does anyone know what can cause such problem?


    I am currently on Windows 10 1809.

    :)

  2. Laptop is suddenly closed down while working

    Hi Ankit,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    I do appreciate your efforts and time.

    • What is the complete error message that you receive?
    • How often does it close down?
    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    Place the system in Safe Mode and check if it works fine.

    1. Restart your PC. When you reach the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key and select the Power button, and then select Restart.

    2. After your PC restarts, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options >Startup settings > Restart. After your PC restarts, you should see a number of options. Press 5 or F5
    for Safe Mode with networking.

    I suggest you to run Check Disk which performs an analysis of the disk. Refer to the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type chkdsk /f and hit Enter.
    NOTE: The root drive has to be C: and the command may schedule a task at the system startup, if it does, then press
    Y to schedule a task and restart the computer to perform chkdsk.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

  3. F5 key behaving as FN + F5

    All of my laptop—a Samsung Expert running Windows 10—f[number] keys are behaving now as if I press Fn+f[number] shortcut.

    For example, Fn+f5 normally disables touchpad. Then, when I press f5 key to refresh a page, my touchpad is disabled.

    This started happening with a few days ago. How to revert this behavior to the normal (f1 working as f1, f2 working as f2 etc…)?

  4. F5 key suddenly not working

    Fn key and keys 5, 6 F5, F6 not working - HELP!

    Hi everyone,



    My booklet is giving me pains again... I finally got the SSD that I installed and working BUT...



    I noticed before I did something to it, that I couldn't use the Fn key to use it with the F1~F10 keys



    I thought it was a software issue until I discovered that some other keys stopped working either, keys like 5, 6, F5 and F6; F2 wasn't working but suddenly it started to work again and same with a few other keys...



    I tried to look for a Keyboard replacement but NOBODY in the whole **bleep** internet have it (there was an auction on eBay but was over when I found it =( ), I tried to call Nokia CS and see if they have it in spareparts or something and they told me to
    ship my booklet, I just need the damn keyboard I can do it myself.



    Any thoughts of what I could do fellas?



    Thank you, have a good day.
