Windows 10: Pressing the F5 or F6 keys alone can only receive keyup signals

Pressing the F5 or F6 keys alone can only receive keyup signals, while pressing the Shift/CTRL and F5/F6 combination keys can receive keydown and keyup signals. In the past period of time, I have not installed any new software. Systems, or driver programs that have not been updated.After uninstalling all keyboard drivers starting with "HID" and restarting, I found that pressing the F5 or F6 key alone could receive both keydown and keyup signals, and then returned to the situation where only keyup could be received.

W, 2, f5, f6, f7, and f8 keys not working sometimes

I have an HP ENVY x360 15-cp0010ca with AMD Ryzen 7 2700U 1 TB HDD AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 and recently 16gb of upgraded ram (originally 8gb of ram). When playing games such as minecraft, astroneer, or black mesa, my W, 2, f5, f6, f7, and f8 keys stop working and I have to spam click the W, 2, f5, f6, f7, and f8 keys all at once until they start working again, and if one starts working, all the others start working. They only work for a limited time before they stop working and I have to spam click them again to get them working. But then for around maybe 24 hours even after I close the games, the W, 2, f5, f6, f7, and f8 keys still don't work and I have to keep on spam clicking to get them working. Eventually it goes away but it comes back every time I play those games. This has been happening since November 21st 2022. I do not think this is due to my recent ram upgrade because it has been happening before the ram upgrade (ram upgraded in January 2023). I have tried everything besides a factory reset. My windows is fully up to date and I have no required or optional updates available.

I have already tried:

• Cleaning under the keys
  
• Uninstalling and reinstalling keyboard driver
  
• Updating the keyboard driver
  
• Turning filter keys on and off
  
• Restarting my laptop
  
• Shutting down my laptop and turning it back on
  
• Using the windows keyboard troubleshooter
  
• Changing the windows preferred language
  
• Removing, cleaning, and reinstalling the keyboard ribbon cable inside of the laptop
  
• Adjusting my button mappings in games
  
• Updating Windows
  
• Spraying the inside of my laptop with canned air
  

I have not tried:

• A factory reset
  
• Replacing keyboard (I do not think I am able to replace the keyboard and it seems that it would be very difficult)

Fn key and keys 5, 6 F5, F6 not working - HELP!

Hi everyone,



My booklet is giving me pains again... I finally got the SSD that I installed and working BUT...



I noticed before I did something to it, that I couldn't use the Fn key to use it with the F1~F10 keys



I thought it was a software issue until I discovered that some other keys stopped working either, keys like 5, 6, F5 and F6; F2 wasn't working but suddenly it started to work again and same with a few other keys...



I tried to look for a Keyboard replacement but NOBODY in the whole **bleep** internet have it (there was an auction on eBay but was over when I found it =( ), I tried to call Nokia CS and see if they have it in spareparts or something and they told me to
ship my booklet, I just need the damn keyboard I can do it myself.



Any thoughts of what I could do fellas?



Thank you, have a good day.

* Original Title: action keys

Since the last windows update (july 15th), the action keys (F5, F6 etc) doe not function any more. That is to say, I am not able tot increase or decrease the volume using the F7 or F8 key.

Is this a known problem and is there a way to solve this?

Greetings,

Tom
