Windows 10: My f2 key is not working.

Hi allI am working in Excel on a Thinkpad L13 with a wireless bluetooth keyboard Logitech K540 and my F2 key to edit cells in Excel is not working while writing on my wireless keyboard - it is working on my laptop. It is working when I am pressing Fn + F2, but I cannot seem to enable Fn Lock on my keyboard.I have pressed "Allow editing directly in cells" in Excel, so that should be good. Is there anyone who can be helpful with this?Many thanks!

:)

The f1 key and the f2 key do not work

Hi,

Before upgrading to Windows 10, the keys F1 and F2 were still working. It sounds like a driver-related issue. When upgrading Windows, it does not automatically update the peripheral drivers. The drivers from the previous Windows 8.1 are still installed and
may need reinstallation by uninstalling them and installing the Windows 10 drivers. To help us understand the situation more, we'd like to ask the following:

• Which version or build of Windows device are you using? To verify your Windows, press
  Windows + R to open the Run window. Type
  winver and press Enter. A new window will open showing the version and build number of your Windows device.
• To avoid repetition, can you provide us with all the troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?
• Can you specify on how you use these function keys, with a different key on the board or just solo?
• Is your keyboard a standard keyboard or a gaming/customizable keyboard?

Additionally, we suggest running the
Find and fix problems with devices and hardware tool to automatically check your computer for hardware compatibility.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.
