keyboard on laptop

[ABBEY]

any ideas....my laptop keyboard is playing up. The volume and mute buttons are not doing any volume controles . If im online it actually acts as the search button and not mute or volumes.

Not a clue unless it's something to do with the fn key. They only just invented calculators when I was at school..... (I've still not a clue how they work either).

Just passing on a Microsoft troubleshoot advice: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie...d-troubleshooting-volume-controls-not-working

My keyboard volume controls suddenly stopped working
If the volume controls on your keyboard stops working, check the Human Interface Device Access service on your computer to make sure it is set to Automatic.
In the search box on the taskbar, type View local services, and select View local services.
In the Services box, locate Human Interface Device Access. Make sure the status is set to Running. If it is not running, select Start the service.
Right-click (or press and hold) Human Interface Device Access and select Properties.
On the General tab, in the Startup type, select Automatic, and then select OK.

Hope it helps.
