Windows 10: Function Keys not working

Hello,

I have an HP laptop with windows 10, the function keys used to work normally until this morning they stopped (adjusting volume, adjusting brightness, etc..).

The function keys are "enabled", but I can't find anything else in the settings that can allow me to use them as I used to do, so how can I fix them?

Thank you.

:)

 

1215N function keys not working?

Doesn't list it for the 1215N *Frown

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?

1215N function keys not working?

I recently purchased a Asus Eee PC 1215N, and reinstalled Windows (the factory install has too much bloatware.)

However I'm finding some of the function keys do not work. Changing brightness works fine with the function keys, but volume and turning off the touchpad doesn't seem to work.

Is there a tool I can install?
I only used Windows Update for the drivers so far, and I wiped the recovery partition to make more room for the install itself.

I read about something called ATK hotkeys, would that work?
