Windows 10: Is my all-in-one media keyboard bluetooth keyboard?

I just bought the all-in-one media keyboard from Microsoft. But I don't know if it is Bluetooth or not. I have only tried using USB to connect it to my laptop.

Media keys on Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard not working

The media keys of my
Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Desktop keyboard are not working.

When I press one of the affected keys nothing happens, but the whole keyboard freezes until I hit 15 more keys. Then all of these 15 key presses are executed immediately and the keyboard starts working normal again. (The action of the media keys is never
executed).

Additional info

• The equivalent keys on my laptops internal keyboard ARE working

• I think it stopped working with the creators update in early 2017
• I now have a clean install of Windows 10, so there should not be any system damage causing this problem
• The keyboard shows up as 'Designer Bluetooth Keyboard' under 'Keyboards' and also as 'Designer Keyboard' under 'Bluetooth' in the Device-Manager
• The latest keyboard and Intel Wireless Bluetooth drivers are installed
• The keyboard works with Ubuntu on the same machine

The affected keys are: mute, volume (up/down), previous track, play/pause, next track, brightness (up/down).

Working special keys: search, share, cast and settings
