Top Row of Keys Don't Work, Only Work When Holding Down "Fn" Key

Hello, I also can't find a way to switch fn key with the f1-12 keys. I did in fact do a clean install/ reset the laptop multiple times too so that might have something to do with it.

I tried the laptop's settings, Lenovo vantage/setting, BIOS settings, control panel, Mobility Center, and updating the driver but couldn't find anything. I also tried fn+(Esc, Tab, caps, shift, cntrl, alt, Win) and the touchpad lock to try to "Fn lock" but that also didn't work.

If you know anything that could help please tell me.

 

FN key always on

If you press “Num Lock" (might also be labeled "Num Lk”) (I’ve also seen it labeled “Pad Lock” for numeric Pad) it turns on the blue keys, and inverts the meaning of the “Fn” key – it’s a way to use that embedded numeric keypad without having to hold down the “Fn” key the entire time. To fix it, just find and press the “Num Lock” or “Pad Lock” key again. (Note, sometimes these keys are themselves “Fn” keys, so you may, or may not, need to also hold down the “Fn” key to get the right function.) Often there is an indicator light associated with the setting.

 

FN key always on

To clarify, I was saying "Accessibility" features maybe be controlled via the BIOS, not the Fn keys. And one of the Accessibility features makes the keys "sticky". This allows folks with some disabilities to press, for example, the Ctrl key, then the Alt key, and then Del in sequence instead of all at once. Same with the Fn key. The sticky feature would let you first press the Fn key, and then the F9 key (for example) and not Fn + F9 at the same time to enable/disable whatever Fn + F9 does with that notebook (it is the touchpad on my Toshiba).
