    Do you have the original drive.
    Do you have access to an external drive caddy

      Few things to attempt in no particular order.

      Could also reset the BIOS to a factory state and see if that corrects it.

      Next look at running a DISM and then SFC.

      Maybe even a Repair Install of Windows.

      Another thing that you could try is redownloading the keyboard drivers and reinstall.

      Remove the reference form Device manager and reboot and see if that clears it up.
      I installed windows powertools and i just sett a keybind to volume up but it woud be nice if i had fn keys if i doo a windows repair install it will erase everything?

          you can tell the repair install to keep user files and settings, or to keep nothing.
          software you installed will need to be reinstalled.

            Why can you not do anything with it?

            No

            Just another reason to back up your personal data to an external source.

                Let us know how it goes.

                If the repair does not fix then may need to reinstall the drivers in proper order.

                Still waiting on complete response for Post #20.

                    abandoned.
