    Use Apple keyboard on Windows 10 (F-keys do not work)?


    I use the Apple "Magic Keyboard" with Windows 10, but I cannot use the F-keys (F1-12), but I would like to have functions like louder/quieter, brightness,... can use. (The keys are recognized by the system, but as if I would hold down the "Fn" or "Num Lock" key)

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Many thanks in advance.

    :)

    PrntScrn-button not available on Apple-keyboard when using WinXP?!

    F14 is Print Screen in Windows. I use an Apple Keyboard in Windows all the time.

    EDIT: Accidentally listed the wrong key the first time. It is now corrected.

    Getting "special" keys on Apple Bluetooth Keyboard to work with Win 10


    I have Windows 10 (upgraded from Win 7.1) installed on an iMac on a Bootcamp partition. When I was running Windows 7.1, all the function keys (to control brightness, volume, music playing) worked perfectly. Now under Windows 10 none of them work. And yes, I did go into the setup and try turning on and off the check box for whether or not the keys performed as Function keys with and without holding the FN key.
    Any ideas/suggestions? If I go into Bluetooth devices, the keyboard is shown properly as an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
    Thanks.
