Special Function Keys - DEAD in W10

#1 Post by Du@lB00t$ » Fri May 13, 2016 8:17 am

The special blue function keys are dead in my clean-install of W10 on my X220. Based on the fix for my audio problems, I am hoping this is a driver problem. However, I'm not sure what is needed. Looking at the Lenovo support download site didn't show me what I needed (I did install many of the drivers) for the special function keys. Anyone got a handle on this? Thanks.

I am not putting W10 on my X220, but the following solution for W8 might work.

YES! Thanks. The latest W7 Hotkey utility did the trick, and now all the keys are working as they should. I believe I also had to add the Thinkvantage communications communications tool.
