Why Don't My Hot Keys Work Anymore?

Suddenly my Hot Keys (F3=mixer, F5=browser, etc) don't work anymore. They seem to go to the default Windows 11 use.
Can somebody help me?

Updates? Any odd keyboard software running?

Shortly before I started running S17 I was prompted to run a Windows Update called "Secure Boot Allowed Key Exchange Key" which I did (right or wrong). However, I did just reboot the system and it seems to work OK now. I always try to find out what the update is all about (or at least see if it's safe) before I run it. I don't trust Microsoft with these Windows Updates lately. Thanks!

The Secure Boot update is critical and has no bearing on keyboards or shortcuts.

Glad it's working after a reboot.

Does your kbd have alternate functions for the F keys? If so, is the corresponding Function lock on by chance?

Not that I see. :)
 
FWIW, I think BobF is on to it. You likely inadvertently selected the function key + something which in some (and largely possible) way, switched your function key mapping. Or even from Vocalpoint's mention of some odd keyboard software, be it gaming or otherwise. The good thing is you got it back. Hey, it happens at times to us all. Darn gizmo...

Yes. I have very clumsy fingers. I'm always accidentally hitting a wrong key that changes something I don't want to change. I get so mad!:mad:

I feel that clumsy fingers thing very much! While I like Keyboard Shortcuts / Commands I have to be very careful not
to F something else up when using them :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:🖖

No problem, then just do the opposite. : )
