Windows 10: Reversed Function Keys

I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-C. Buttons like volume and brightness require the fn key to be used. I've went to the system settings and changed the function key to standard f1-f12 mode and it didn't work, and I haven't seen anything from 2018 or from my model about the issue.

Help! function FN keys behavior reversed

Hello,

I must have hit some combination of keys on my Nokia Booklet 3G because now the function keys operate as F1, F2, etc normally, and I have to hold the 'fn' key to use the music, volume, screen controls. It's not that big of a deal, but it's a little annoying
and it's frustrating me that I can't turn it back to how it was. I've tried plugging in a USB keyboard and trying every combination of fn, numlk, scrllk, shift, ctrl, alt, you name it but nothing seems to reverse this behavior. Anyone have any ideas?
