Windows 10: Two of my hot keys are not working....

The F4 and F8 keys of my keyboard which are meant for microphone mute/unmute and camera on/off respectively are now not working. It worked well till the last day but all of a sudden it just stopped working. Could any one please explain me why is this happening because I am in very much need of those two keys for my online classes...Also I checked if the hot keys are disabled but no it was perfectly fine...

Hot keys

Hi,

I am Ganesh Gandhi, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

If you want to disable 'Hot keys related to Display" in Windows 10,

Kindly follow these steps.

1. Right click on desktop

2. If you see Graphics Options, you can 'disable' Hot keys in sub menu itself.

3. If you see Graphics properties, in Options and Support, you can 'disable' Hot keys.

If Hot keys (Shortcut keys) are in Multimedia keyboard, you can use software associated with it, you can enable or disable the hot keys from the keyboard itself.

Do let me know if you require any further help on this. Will be glad to help you.
