Windows 10: Fullscreen not working when pressing f11

Hello there,

I'm experiencing a problem on my new laptop that when I press f11 on google, the fullscreen shortcut won't work and instead, it uses page up pgup.

I can't find anywhere on the settings where to enable/disable the hotkey. Any ideas?

:)

brightnes F11 F12 isn't working

Hi,

I would suggest you to please once look following steps. i hope you will find solution of your issue.

Are you pressing only F11 / F12 OR are you also pressing the ''Fn'' key?

-If you are not pressing "Fn" key, then that may be what you need to do.

-If you are already pressing the "Fn" key also, then maybe you have the "Fn" (Function) key disabled.

-To enable it, press Fn + Esc

Please let me know, if that helps.

Kind Regards:
