Windows 10: Start Menu rarely shows up when pressing Windows Key, Brightness Keys F11&12 keeps showing...

It works when I click Ctrl + Esc but when I press the WinKey it rarely even shows up. There are some cases when I'm able to open it but i had to hardly long-press the winkey or repeatedly press it within seconds. I tried using the OnScreen keyboard to press WinKey but still wasn't able to open the Start Menu. There's also this problem whenever I press the brightness keys F11&F12 it shows both the brightness bar and volume bar which makes it look glitchy in the process. I couldn't downgrade my keyboard driver since i already deleted the Windows.old folder 3 days ago. My driver is also at

ASUS Q525UA notebook can not full screen using F11 key, so how then?

So that's odd. Usually on a notebook you would either press F11 alone or Func (Fn on some notebooks) in combination with F11 to activate the "real" F11 function key.

The fact that you are seeing volume control for both methods, although one looks different, tells me at least that pressing F11 in combination with Func is doing something different. My suspicion is that some program has taken over the F11 key for use as a volume control.

Here is something you might try:

1) First determine whether pressing a function key by itself activates the actual function key or the "special" function for the laptop. Maybe the brightness control is a good test. For example, on my laptop, F2 and F3 are brightness down and brightness up. If I press just the F2 or F3 key the brightness is changed so I know that I have to press Fn + F2 or Fn + F3 to get the actual F2 or F3 key activated.

2) Open task manager to the Processes tab to see if you can spot a particular program becoming active when you press F11 or Func + F11 (whichever the "real" F11 is). Maybe that will help you to determine what program has hijacked F11.

3) Once you determine what program has taken over F11, check the help or documentation for that program to see if you can disable the volume control in that app or assign that capability to another key combination.

4) Another method might be to perform a clean boot to verify that something is indeed hijacking the F11 key
