Function keys are working differently in A715-76G. How to revert this change and fix it
I recently got my laptop (A715-76G) repaired, but I noticed a change in the behavior of the keyboard function keys after the service. It seems that either the software or hardware has been updated, and now the function keys are working differently.
Previously, each function key had two features: one activated by simply pressing the key and the other by pressing the "Fn" key along with it. However, this behavior now appears to be reversed. For example, the F4 key used to perform its standard F4 function (e.g., closing a window) when pressed normally, and the microphone on/off function required pressing "Fn + F4."
Currently, pressing F4 directly toggles the microphone on/off, and I need to press "Fn + F4" to use the standard F4 function. This reversal is inconvenient for me, and I would like to have the key behavior restored to its original setting.
Could you please guide me on how to revert this change.

Hi, boot to BIOS with F2 and look for Function key Behavior in the Main screen, set that to Function key instead of Media Key (see picture) and Save changes on Exit BIOS. If you don't see the option press Ctrl+S in Main to show the hidden settings.
