    Function keys do not work


    For some reason after a recent windows update the fn key has stopped working with various keys. To explain, fn + f10-12 can still adjust my audio without problems. Fn + f8 still works as well, which opens up wireless display options. For some reason, all other functions do not work. Fn + f2 does not put the computer in airplane mode, fn + f9 does not enable/disable my track pad, and fn + f3-f6 does not change my keyboard brightness or display brightness, though I can still change my display brightness in settings. I've messed around with display adapters in device manager to try and make the brightness function keys work, but even switching to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter does not do anything, along with rolling back my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 display adapter, and various restarts. I've continued to keep my computer up to date to see if another update would come out to fix these problems, but they have persisted for roughly 3 weeks now, and I have not seen anyone else experiencing these problems.


    I'm on an ASUS FX502 Series

    CPU: Intel Core i7-7700HQ

    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060

    1215N function keys not working?

    Doesn't list it for the 1215N *Frown Function keys do not work :(

    Funny part all the keys work out of the box with Linux Mint, go figure.

    Tried the one on softpedia, doesn't seem to work.

    Any other model that I can take it from?

    Functions keys work as intended


    Hi dangnad2.

    Found this. Would suggest Lock mode Enabled/Secondary needs to be enable or checked.
