I've formatted my computer and reinstalled Windows 10 x64 from a USB drive created with MS Media Creation Tool. Then I've HP Support Assist and installed everything.
The Mute key works and the OSD displays correctly the volume bar as muted. But the light on the key doesn't turn on. I've manually installed the latest sound driver, to no avail.

Welcome to HP Community
I have gone through your Post and would like to help
Was the Mute button LED working before you reinstalled the Operating System?
Please ensure you have the latest BIOS installed https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp101001-101500/sp101310.exe
Keep me posted

Hi
That's a bit late for an answer, but thanks.
Mute LED was walking prior installation. BIOS was latest, and driver was latest. I've uninstalled the newest driver and let Windows install default one. Then Windows updated it to a newer version than default, but not to the one that's on HP's page.
With THAT driver (I mean, the default updated by Windows), LED works.
With the driver on the HP page, it does not.

We're extremely sorry about the delay. Due to the current global situation, we're seeing an influx of customers coming in for support and we are working with reduced work force and limited infrastructure to support our customers.
I'm glad you got this issue sorted out
