  1. Why won't my F8 key on my physical keyboard work??


    Whenever I want to use my camera for facetiming on teams or any app I slide my camera shutter thing off and I try to press the F8 key to fully turn on my camera. I have tried so many troubleshoots and I have also tried looking on the internet, but nothing WORKS! The F8 key just isn't wanting me to be able to use it.

  2. 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...

    Why won't my F8 key on my physical keyboard work??

    Start Key on Keyboard not Working

    No problems in the troubleshooter nor Input tab for dxdiag.



    I don’t believe it is anything physically wrong with the keyboard since every other key works fine. I tried removing the key cap, there was no dirt, so I tried pressing the key with no keycap on and it still didn’t work.
