Hi, it seems the function key stopped responding and now only works with Shift. This usually happens when the keyboard settings or BIOS are misconfigured. Check if the function key is properly recognized in the BIOS and ensure your keyboard drivers are up to date. If the issue persists, consider resetting BIOS settings or consulting the manufacturer’s support.

Hello! It seems a Windows update might have altered how function keys operate. You might want to first re-activate them using FN+F11 or FN+ESC—these are common shortcuts. If that fails, check the BIOS settings by toggling the keys on and off to see if the issue persists. For further assistance, refer to the instructions provided in the link. I hope this helps you get your laptop back in working order. Cheers! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*

After waiting half an hour of frustration, I rechecked the BIOS and found it had been switched back to media keys by accident. I think I accidentally changed it while reviewing the settings once.

It might have been me or the Windows update acting independently. Stay alert for any odd behavior during updates. Glad I could assist. Take care! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
