    Volume keys are no longer working. Bringing up Caret Browsing prompt instead.


    When I ptress either of the volume keys, I get the following prompt. This was working before. No changes have been made to the computer. No updates or new applications. I left this laptop alone overnight, and this just started happening. What the [insert well known Anglo-Saxonism beginning with "F" here.]?!!

    Caret Browsing and Volume Buttons

    Hello, everything has been working fine, until this morning. My volume keys are, f6mute, f7 -, and f8 +. I tried to use them to adjust my volume and then got a pop up asking if I wanted to enable caret browsing, I selected no, but my f6 key is still opening my search bar. I checked my internet advanced settings, it says my caret browsing is turned off. It seems to only be affecting those 3 keys. I would like to regain use of these shortcut keys, they were working just fine yesterday. Any help would be great.

    Caret Browsing prompt

    I ticked to box on the caret browsing prompt to stop being asked if I wanted to use caret browsing or not and to use F7 instead.

    Would anyone know HOW I may reinstate this option please (If there is a video available also, it would be a bonus)

    The way shown on some routes is to go through the ... at top right- Then to "Settings" - Then to "View Advanced Settings" and select "Caret Settings" which is just below "Use Adobe Flash" BUT as you can see on my route, the "Caret Settings" choice is missing.

    (I have looked at Open other sites in Apps but this proved to be a false trail.

    As a result I am at a loss to know where else to look for this. Hence my question.
