Windows 10: Reverse Function Keys to default to volume/brightness adjust

I recently bought a Samsung computer with Windows 11.On the top row of the keyboard are the Function keys F1, F2, F12, etc which also double as the brightness adjust, volume adjust, etc.When I press those keys by themselves, it works as the function keys F1, F2, etcHowever, when I hold Fn and press those keys, the keys work as the volume adjust and such.Is there a way to reverse this, so by pressing the keys by themselves they adjust the volume, and when I hold down Fn, it works as the F1, F2 keys?Thank you in advance!

Changing brightness is no longer smooth with function keys on 1903

Hi, There's a the slider for brightness at the bottom of the Action Centre (build 1903).

If you'd be prepared to consider an alternative... how about smooth control of brightness using your scroll wheel?
Press a key, plus scroll, and adjust your brightness.

The key and the steps are your choice.

Oh, and it can adjust volume similarly.

Works nicely on my Lenovo Thinkpad, where the Fn key steps for brightness are a bit harsh.

Cannot adjust screen brightness using function keys anymore! Windows 10

As title suggests the function keys for my laptop have stopped adjusting the brightness for my laptop. I can adjust by going into the settings fine but can't use the keys. I have updated all my display drivers but still no joy.

 

Brightness can not be adjusted.
