    Basically, in every game I play the hotkeys for f1-f9 dont work because my keyboard has special hotkeys for them such as turning up brightness or lowering volume etc. i want to make it so that my computer prioritizes the game hotkeys instead of the keyboard hotkeysheres a video showing what i mean:https://youtu.be/yytPsaNnHdo

    Microsoft Designer Keyboard HotKeys NOT working

    Hi Andrzej,

    If the Hotkeys on your Microsoft Designer Keyboard don't work, it is possible that the Human Interface Device Access service on your Surface was stopped. Make sure that the service is set to automatic. To do that, follow these steps:

    • Type Services in the search box. Click on Services
    • In the list of services in the Details pane, double-click HID Human Interface Service, and then make sure that the Startup type is set to Automatic.

    If the Hotkeys still won't work, try to create a new local user account and test if the "special keys" will work. If you're a Windows 10 user, refer to this link
    on how to create a local user.

    You may also test the keyboard with a different computer. If the keyboard does not work correctly with the other computer, this could be a possible hardware issue.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Pre 3 Beta 16 - hotkey

    Sicce beta 16 i got hotkey problems (they are ignored regulary)
    When i click on properties and "update" to set the hotkey again, then atitool says that "komma" on the right keyboard element is pressed (komma auf zehnertastertur)

    The whole problem can be solved by hitting komma a few times, and together with that i set the strg+F10 hotkey fresh again. then it works.

    I can just say that komma was not pressed, and the keyboard is also fine. the bug is in software

    Microsoft designer hotkeys not working after sleep

    I have the same problem, and been present until the last three monthly updates. The keyboard has been working well before and after this updates the keyboard stop working when i press the hotkeys and is unresponsive for 15 keystrokes, after this 15 keystrokes
    the keyboard come to work again until you press hotkeys again. Mi keyboard was replaced and the new keyboard have the same issue. I try with another Windows 10 PCs and is the same issue. I try too with the drivers of manufacturer, the drivers directly of Intel
    and with the drivers installed for Windows 10 Device Manager.

    When the keyboard was paired with the pc the keyboard works well and the hotkeys works fine, after some time or after a reboot the hotkeys stop working and stay in this state until the keyboard was removed and paired again.

    In advance I tried with:
    Another PCs (3)

    A variety of drivers
