Try this..

1. Uninstall the keyboard driver.
2. Reboot the computer (without reinstalling the driver just yet).
3. When the computer restarts it should reinstall the driver on its own.

I uninstalled "Toshiba function key" and followed your steps, and it didn't work. The computer did not install the driver 🙁

It would not be "Toshiba function key".

Go to "Control Panel" then open "Device Manager". Double-click on "Keyboards" to open the sub menu. Now double-click on your keyboard that is listed. In the new window, click the "Driver" tab and then click "Uninstall". When it is done, click "OK" and close all the opened windows. Now restart and it should reinstall that driver.

In regard to the one you did uninstall, you would probably need to reinstall it manually.

Okay, I did that, and still nothing 🙁 The keyboard driver was reinstalled, indeed, but the function key are not back 🙁

OK... try this...

1. Go to "Start Menu" and then "All Programs".
2. Locate "Toshiba" and then "Tools & Utilities".
3. Now click on "Keyboard".
4. Where it says "Function Keys Mode", change the option to "Standard F1-F12 Mode".

I don't have anything linke Tools&utilities anywhere. In Toshiba I only got: Eco utility, password utility, program display utility, and others without "utility"

Yes, but still nothing. I cannot find the version 1.1.16.6401, the only one I could download is 1.1.15 which causes not all function keys work properly

If the correct version cannot be found, then you may well have to talk with Toshiba about the problem. If it is under warranty, they would be your best bet.

I have a Toshiba S50t Notebook running Win10 Home, with the exact same issue..!! It has been very frustrating trying to find a resolution for it..!!
I do know it has something to do with Toshiba's "Desktop Assistant or "Function Key" Utilities, as
1. You used to have an option to turn the led back lit keyboard off and on from the "function key" utility. Now it no longer exists..!!
2. When you power up the "Desktop Assistant" and click the on/off FN Key, the FN function keys would revert back to normal until your next reboot, then the keys will invert back, everytime..!!
This is a major conflict issue..!! I hope someone can figure it out and let us know the resolution. Cheers.

Hi, I've had the same problem for months. I just downloaded a function key driver from Toshiba's website after inputting my serial # and operating system. I've restarted twice and the function keys are behaving the way they should. I downloaded Version: 1.1.15.4. I hope this helps.

I had the same problem after cleaning my keyboard while it was on. I'm doing so I turned off the "sticky keys" Turn it back on by pressing the shift button 5xs

Do you mean holding Shift and pressing 5, X and S at the same time?

Hi.

I know this is an old thread but it might be useful for somebody.

I went to the toshiba website where, after inserting the serial number of my computer and chossing que OS and language, I downloaded the TOSHIBA Function Key. After installing and rebooting, the Fn key start functioning properly.
