    F7/F8/F9 Keys don't perform previous functions


    My CRM Maximizer has keyboard shortcuts for the Shift+F7, F8, and Ctrl+F9.But they've stopped working and now perform Windows tasks like chaning screen illumination levelThese were major time saving features that I used repeatedly throughout the day.Without them, I have to click on multiple menu items.Is there any way to restore this functionality to my program?

    F7/F8/F9 Keys don't perform previous functions

    My CRM (Maximizer) has keyboard shortcuts for the Shift+F7, F8, and Ctrl+F9.

    But they've stopped working and now perform Windows tasks (like chaning screen illumination level)

    These were major time saving features that I used repeatedly throughout the day.

    Without them, I have to click on multiple menu items.

    Is there any way to restore this functionality to my program?

    F7, F8, F9 keys do no longer function correctly

    Hi MET_02

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    If pressing the function key (F7- F9) does not work on its own, if you press the Fn key + F7, or F8 or F9 does that produce the requited action?

    If so, boot your laptop into BIOS and in there look for a Media Keys/Function keys setting and toggle that setting

    Or. f your press the Fn key +Esc key, does that toggle the need for the Fn key to be pressed?

    F7/F8/F9 Keys don't perform previous functions

    F7, F8, F9 keys do no longer function correctly

    Hi, On my laptop (HP EliteBook 850 G6) the function keys are shared with the control of hardware:

    F7 Loudspeaker: turn up; F8 Microphone: on/off; F9 Keyboard illumination: on/off

    I use occasionally a program which needs these function keys (not for hardware control): The last time I used it, those keys functioned correctly. Now no longer, they only control the hardware; the program seem not to be able using them. Performing the commands
    in the program with the selected option does function; only their alternative use with the function key not. How can I find out whether an other (updated?) application is blocking their use by other programs and how can I correct it? Thanks for your help.
