    Hello, having issues getting my Fn keys to work after windows 10 install.
    I have "hotkey 6.0106" installed, so i can control turning off my mouse pad, keyboard lightning colors etc but the quick FN buttons are not working.
    Any troubleshooting ideas would be appreciated.

    Try the win8 version off clevo website 8.0101 - they all work fine for me (P170EM/win10)

    Ty for help but no go.
    When I press the Fn key it opens my windows start menu like its acting like the windows key. I cant locate anything through google on why my FN key is acting like my windows key.
    Also FN + E will open a explorer menu, again acting like its the windows key. Any other ideas?

    You may need to update your EC firmware (and BIOS). There is a 1.05.01 version for Win 10 for some EM models.

    Hi, did you try the windows key instead of the FN key?
    My keys are working fine (P150EM) with windows 10 and Hotkey v8.0150, my FN key is on the left side of the keyboard.

    Also check if you have the latest Bios/EC version.
