PC HP Notebook - 15-r213ns
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I have a HP Notebook PC - 15-r213ns (ENERGY STAR) with windows 8.1

 

Last night, after a windows update, the hotkeys for brightness (F2 and F3) the volume (F7 and F8), wifi (F12) and all the other ones have stopped working.  I can still change the brightness and volume through windows but i cant do it anymore using the keys.

 

The functions keys do work, like F5 refresh or F3 browse. I have noticed that before i had to press the FN key for this and now it does it without the FN + Fx, so i suppose the windows update must have changed somthing here.

 

They used to work fine before the update. I have re-installed the display drivers (NVIDIA G-FORCE 820-M) and looked for new drivers or updated drivers using HP Support asistant but everything is up to date.

 

I was looking for hot key drivers in the HP drivers page for my product but couldnt find any keyboard, hotkeys related software or drivers.

 

any suggestions?

 

thanks in advance,

 

Marco
