HP Probook 450 G5
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought a HP ProBook 450 G5 and the F3 and F4 buttons were working for about 2 months but then stopped working, stopping me from altering the brightness. I really don't know how it could have happened. 

Please help me.

 

Thanks in advance

Install or reinstall latest graphics driver from your Support page:

Dear Cheryl,

 

Thanks for your quick answer!

 

I downloaded them all, even the latest Hotkey Support but nothing seems to work.. It only says that I already got the latest verison of the driver.  

 

I really don't know what to do.

In Device Manager  right click and Uninstall graphics adapter. Restart and Windows will reinstall the driver. Sometimes that helps with F3 and F4. Similarly it helps with volume keys problem to Uninstall audio device.

If no joy, I would next try a hard reset/power reset:
