    Keyboard play and pause buttons no longer working


    Out of the blue my play and pause buttons on my Logitech keyboard have stopped working. The volume controls and mute work, but on Chrome, Firefox, Hulu App, and Windows media players they do not work but do work for the iTunes app and Netflix app. I have tried restarting all of these programs and even uninstalled iTunes to see if it was the issue. I tried another Windows keyboard and it had the exact same problem. I have tried uninstalling recent Windows updates, uninstalling my keyboard drivers, changing the human device interface settings, disabling Apple services and Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service the latter was already disabled, I don't know how to enable it, changing chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling to disabled, having all of these apps closed, and restarting my computer dozens of times. I also changed what USB ports I plug into. Does anyone know how to fix this? The problem came out of the blue.

    :)

    Play/Pause button on keyboard

    Hello,

    Since my last Windows 10 Update on the 11th of April the function Play/Pause button on my keyboard has changed. Before the update, it used to only play or pause the music being played on Windows Media Player or MPC-HC and had no effect whatsoever on Youtube
    or Facebook videos being played in the Internet browser. Since the update, YT and FB video even have the priority, i.e. the Play/Pause button only effects the videos when there any open and only plays/pauses music in WMP or MPC HC when there are no videos
    open in browser. Is there a way to get stuff the way they were before update?

    Thanks in advance,

    Sari
