Windows 10: Shortcut keys don't work new laptop

Hello. I only found this kind of issue in the forum happening to people who already had the shortcuts working. This is my first laptop and I didn't find anything in the settings that could help me fix it. So, I have this brand new Samsung laptop and it has the F keys and under them some symbols. The F function works, I just can't lower the brightness, mute, lower the sound, access the settings, etc with them, which is supposed to be possible. I don't know if this is just a newbie problem and I couldnt find a way to make it work. I'm sorry if it is too simple, I just can't fix it :

Windows 10 shortcut key not working - Please help

Hey guys,

I'm trying to create a shortcut key for a program/script that turns off my monitor. I've confirmed that the small program is working by double clicking on it. The problem I'm having is that when I go to create a shortcut key for it. First I create a shortcut to the program, then I set a shortcut key, say "ctrl-shift-s". After applying the changes, clicking Ok, I try to use the shortcut by pressing the ctrl-shift-s key combination. When I do this, nothing happens. I've confirmed that shortcut keys works with other apps like the Command Prompt. Does anyone have any insight to this?

Cheers,

E71 shortcut keys and application shortcuts

I have owned my E71 for three weeks. There is something very wrong with shortcut keys and application shortcuts. I have a SIM free phone. My e-mail shortcut key works for a while when I turn the phone off and on again: one short press = opens e-mail and
one long press = new e-mail message. But after a while, pressing the button causes nothing to happen.

I have read another thread about this and tried to assign different functions to the button but I end up with everything working for a while, then all the shortcut keys failing. So I reset everything to default.

I know that some people have suggested that having more than one e-mail account might cause this. I have deleted a second e-mail account but this has not helped.

Today I assigned a new application shortcut so that the first button was a new text message. Shortcut has never caused a problem before. Now, pressing this produces a flicker, and then nothing.

There is something wrong here. I would appreciate any suggestions of a resolution. I don;t think the previous answer marked as a 'solution' will cure everyone's problems.
