Unfortunately, this "feature" can also be hard-wired into the keyboard,
independent of the BIOS, with no way to restore normal Fn operation. I have
some generic HP keyboards that work that way.

There is a BIOS setting that you MUST change so the Function Keys function as
they used to;
why the manufacturers chose to change the default is strange.

Gary,
Look closely at your F keys. Are they labeled with a dual function? If so,
check your keyboard. There is probably a key that shifts the F keys into an
alternate mode, sort of like having a CAPS lock on. There should be key that
will unshift the F keys out of doing windows functions and let them do normal
function key stuff.
73,
Gary AL9A
