Windows 10: Fn + F11 not working

I was having problems with my top keys and later found out it was fn for my PC. It did work, all except from print screen, which is what I need it for. Could I have some help?

:)

 

fn+f11

So I recently restarted my pc. Before restarting it, F11 did full screen on it's own. But now for some reason, it only works when I press fn+f11

Is there a fix for this

Neither F11 nor fn+F11 gives me full screen

Hi Odin99,

I am an independent advisor and a Microsoft user like you, and I would be happy to help you out with this.

Could you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, and then see if F11 works here?

You can do this by going to

Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

If F11 or Fn+F11 works here, it may be possible that an add-on is interfering with the F11 keystroke.

Please let us know!

I hope this has helped you. If this is not what you are looking for, please reply and let us know and we would be happy to look into providing some different suggestions!
