    Why are my volume buttons not doing their job?


    The f4 and f5 keys don't work as volume buttons unless I hold fn and esc while using them. Unless I'm holding fn and esc, f4 selects the link to the site currently being used whilst f5 refreshes the page

    Why are my volume buttons not doing their job?

    VOLUME and NETWORK buttons in taskbar do nothing when clicked

    I had the same problem with my Volume icon at system tray. The following tutorial will fix it.

    Enable or Disable System Icons on Taskbar in Windows 10

    Use Option One :
    Start with step #3 and 4 > click the Download buttons > continue to step #7 through 11.
    Restart computer afterwards, just to make sure.
