HP Omen macro keys not functioning as intended

[Deckay]

I'm running the HP omen with Windows 10 with all its drivers updated.

My macro keys (P1-P10) are currently functioning as the keys directly on their right (e.g. P3 works as tab, P4 works as Caps Lock and P1 works as escape) and no matter how I configure them on the HP Omen control program, they just won't work as assigned.

Are there any fixes to this problem?

Hi there. The issue always existed ever since I bought the laptop. I immediately upgraded it to windows 10 out of the box.

There was *once*  where it worked, but that was pretty short lived.

Hello @Deckay,

Thank you for the quick reply!

So keyboard did work properly, when you first purchased the notebook, and then stopped shortly after.  Do you recall if that was after upgrading to Windows 10?  You may consider using the Go back to an earlier build option, in your System Settings: HP Notebook PCs - Upgrading to Windows 10

Once you are back to your original Operating System, check to see if you are experiencing the same issue. If so, then try performing a System Recover to put the notebook back to its factory settings.  If the keyboard does work in the original Operating System, then try upgrading to Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool. 

I hope this helps.

I ended up uninstalling the omen control center and then reboot the computer. Then I downloaded the Omen control Center software for 8.1 from the hp Software and Drivers page ( http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp70501-71000/sp70894.exe ). This is an updated version of the Omen control center with a few new features [macros]. Much more funcional than before.
