Windows 10: The F keys on the keyboard

For some reason, anytime I press the keys on the top of my laptop's computer, such as the volume or brightness buttons, it just goes straight to the F key's function, such as opening inspect. What can I do to fix this?

my keyboard f keys

Hi Tony,

Some keyboard's function keys require a certain combination to perform a certain function. If all Function keys don't work, then there's a possibility that the F keys are disabled. Try to look for the F-Lock key on your keyboard and then
just press it to enable the function keys back.

For us to isolate the problem, try pressing the Fn key together with the designated function key for volume or brightness and see if it works. The Fn key is usually located at the bottom part of the keyboard near the space bar.

Let us know how it goes so we can assist you further.

Regards.

 

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...
