    Function keys won't work w/o hitting Fn key also

    So how do I get to BIOS + what do I do when I get there? The keyboard came with the new computer. Not impressed with any of it + especially Windows 10. The function keys clearly have their use listed on the key, but they won't work w/o the Fn key. That's definitely not right.

    FN shortcuts don't work since Windows 10 update

    Hello Kawiah,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the issue description FN keys are not working after upgrading to Windows 10. It seems the Fn key got disabled in Windows Mobility Center. Follow the steps below to enable Fn key in Windows Mobility Center:

    1. Click "Start", type "Windows Mobility Center" and press enter.

    2. In the Windows Mobility Center window, please locate "Function Key Behavior".

    3. Click drop down arrow next to "Function Key Behavior" and then select "Function key"

    There might be a chance that there is some system file corruption. So, I would suggest you to run
    SFC scan and see if it brings any difference.

    System file check is a utility built into the Operating System that will check for system file corruption. The sfc /scannow command (System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect,
    corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions where possible.

    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows 8.

    • Press Windows key and
      X at the same time.
    • Choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the context menu.
    • In the command prompt, type sfc /scannow and hit Enter.
    • Exit command prompt.
