Windows 10: I cannot adjust my controls for the brightness, when i press fn and f3 it doesnt show up at all

I have the hp victus with AMD Ryzen Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 16-s0xxx

Brightness Action Keys (Fn+F3 and Fn+F4) stopped working since recent Windows update HP ProBook 440 G5.

I recently updated my Windows 10 (64-Bit) 22H2. The update also updated my BIOS.



Ever since this update, Fn+F3 and Fn+F4 have stopped functioning as my brightness action key shortcuts (that reduce/increase my screen brightness).



I have tried the following to no avail:

1. Updated all my device drivers (even the HP Hotkey Support - UWP)
   
2. Upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
   

However, the problem remains unresolved.



When I was on Windows 10, every time I pressed Fn+F3 or Fn+F4, it would show me an empty popup titled "HP Hotkey Support" with an OK button. On Windows 11, it doesn't show that popup either.



Any ideas how I can get my brightness action keys working again?

 

Brightness and Fn keys

Greetings,

On a previous computer, if I wanted to decrease brightness, I would press the F7 key. If I wanted to search, I would press Fn+F3. On my present computer, I have to use Fn+F7 to decrease brightness, and F3 alone searches. How do I reverse the Fn key requirement
to not needing it for changing brightness, sound, etc?

 

Brightness Action Keys (Fn+F3 and Fn+F4) stopped working since recent Windows update HP ProBook 440 G5.

I did the following:

1. Enabled the "Special Keys..." option, saved the settings and restarted the system.
   
2. Disabled the "Special Keys..." option, enabled the "Swap Fn and..." option, saved the settings and restarted the system.
   
3. Enabled both the options, saved the settings and restarted the system.
   

In none of these scenarios, I was able to change the brightness using the action key combination.

When doing the 2nd case above, I had to try Ctrl+F3/F4.

With the 1st and the 3rd case, I tried Fn+F3/F4.

Other action key combinations continue to function just fine. Only the brightness action key combination isn't working since that update.
