Thanks, I am using Edge, indeed there was an automatic translation setting .. sorry

 

Can we go back to my keyboard stories ? please
   - from time to time I do not enter any more characters
   - I would like to activate the function keys permanently

If you are talking about the FN function, then not possible, or practically
All keys, do not work properly?
So, it may be time to change the keyboard, this will solve both problems.
You can check if it comes from the keyboard, connect it to another computer, if it still has problems, it is certainly, hardware, you will not be able to do much about it.

 

NB, sorry to have insisted, but we must play the game, everyone must be able to understand
Unfortunately we no longer have the FR community

 

unfortunately the only possible solutions currently are software, or hardware replacement
There is a solution, but that is to block the key, and you may break the keyboard
Unfortunately either this is not suitable or user feedback

Thank you,

indeed, I changed the keyboard (by a new one) and unplugged all the USB devices. And it's been going for a few days.

 

My new keyboard does not have shortcut keys for sound and standby, handy for original keyboards (general public). 

This is why I wanted to activate the function keys permanently. I looked in the BIOS, but there is nothing.

 

No worries for English

Hello,
alas, the problem reappears.
If I unplug and plug in the USB plug again, it becomes functional again, but it is not practical !
I suspect a software problem because the keyboard is new.
Thank you
