Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...

 

windoss 11 keyboard fn key not working ?

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

If the Fn key on your keyboard is not working in Windows 11, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check for driver updates: Go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for your keyboard. Install them and see if the Fn key starts working.
   
2. Enable the Fn key in BIOS/UEFI settings: Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings by pressing the designated key (usually F2, Del, or Esc) during startup. Look for an option related to the Fn key and make sure it is enabled.
   
3. Try a different keyboard: If possible, connect a different keyboard to your computer and see if the Fn key works with it. This will help determine if the issue is with the keyboard itself or the computer's settings.
   
4. Check keyboard settings in Windows: Open the Settings app, go to "Devices," and select "Typing." Make sure the "Use the F1-F12 keys as standard function keys" option is not enabled. If it is enabled, try disabling it and see if the Fn key starts working.
   
5. Reset keyboard settings: Open the Settings app, go to "Devices," and select "Typing." Scroll down and click on "Advanced keyboard settings." Under the "Reset your keyboard" section, click on the "Reset" button. This will reset any custom keyboard settings and may fix the Fn key issue.
   

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a hardware problem with your keyboard. In that case, you may need to contact the manufacturer for further assistance or consider getting a new keyboard.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
