Question My Windows key and alt key have switched and my Fn key is unresponsive

[marliyna]

I'm not sure why but my some of my keys haven't been working properly lately. They worked fine a few days ago but now the Windows and alt keys have switched and the Fn key doesn't work. How can I fix this?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Make and model keyboard?

What games if any do you play?

Any recent software downloads or updates?

My thought is that something may have reconfigured the keyboard.

However there are some things that can be immediately done.

Manually download, reinstall, and reconfigure the keyboard drivers directly from the keyboard's manufacturer's website. No third party tools or installers.

Run the built in Windows troubleshooters. The troubleshooters may find and fix something.

Run "dism" and "sfc /scannow"

If the above actions do not fix the problem then look in Reliability History/Monitor for any error codes, warnings, or informational events that may have been captured just before or at the time the keyboard stopped working.
