I have tried the fixes mentioned in the other thread. I have installed several updates but I am not sure which one was most recent to the volume issue.

@JyNik,

Thanks for the update,

As I understand the volume buttons are not working, anymore,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Did you attempt reinstalling the HP Quick Launch to resolve this issue? (Click here, if you haven't - the same article applies for both Windows 7 & 8.1)

What steps have you done so far? to ensure we don't repeat them?

Here’s the step by step guide for you:

1. Click the Start button, then click Run. 
2. In the Run window, next to Open, type MSCONFIG. 
3. Press the ENTER key. 
4. In the System Configuration Utility window, click the Startup tab. 
5. On the Startup tab, under Startup Item, ensure that there is a check in the HKserv checkbox. 
    
   NOTE: If HKserv is missing, reinstall the Hot-Key Utility application by Clicking here
   
   For Windows 10 drivers: Click here

(ignore the ads, 3rd party link has been sent to ensure your issue is fixed, I'm going beyond my way to help you and if you would like to give me virtual high five, Click on the purple thumbs up 🙂 )

If the above doesn't help, please create another User account as suggested earlier and try again.

Let me know how that pans out

I hope you have a good day ahead,

The keyboard that came with my model does not have quick launch buttons. The article you referenced says if there is not an information or presentation button then I do not have quicklaunch.

The third party driver app did not find anything that needed updating.

When I research HKserv consensus says it is an unnecessary service in Windows 10 and related to several viruses?

@JyNik,

Thank you for replying,

As I understand you have tried to follow the steps suggested and unfortunately, nothing has helped to resolve this issue. I'm glad you pointed as the option we were looking is not available for your PC.

In this scenario, I would suggest this could be a possible hardware failure. I would recommend you contact our HP phone support for further assistance.

(1) Once the support page opens please select the country in which you're located. Next, enter your HP model number on the right.

(2) Next, choose the 'Contact Support' tab at the top and scroll down to the bottom of the 'HP Support- Contact' page to fill out the form provided with your contact information.

(3) Once completed click the 'Show Options' icon on the bottom right.

(4) Lastly, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select 'Get the phone number.' A case number and phone number will now populate for you.

If you have any troubles, let me know and I will do my best to help!
