In a worksheet
F1, F2, F3, F7, F8 - All provide a volume indication (I think). They each do minor changes F1 possibly on/off, F2, F3 move it one 2 point increment down or up, F7, F8 down or up with * (Not sure).
The above time off.
F9 - Something like a Win 10 Start window on 1/4 screen.
F10 - A desktop with small views of all open programs.
F11 - A side window "Connect"
Above F9 - F11 are removed by use of "Esc".
F12 - Opens "Settings" window full screen. Have to select Excel to go back
F4, F5, F6 do not work
Visual Basic Editor
In code All above are the same.
I.e. Things like F8 Step into, and F5 Run do not work.
What do I do to fix it?

SolutionIt's not Excel, it's your keyboard.
Look for the Fn key - usually between the left Ctrl key and the Windows key.
You have two options:
1) Press Fn+function key to access the Excel/Visual Basic functionality.
2) "Lock" the Fn key. This is done by pressing Fn+the lock key. The lock key varies between keyboards; it usually has either a lock symbol on it or the text 'Fn lock'. On my keyboard it is the Esc key, so I can press Fn+Esc to "lock" the Fn key. After that, F1, F2 etc. will act as expected in Excel.

Here you'll find links to most keyboard shortcut articles for apps for Office.
I would be happy to know if I could help.
