F1 to F12 shortcut issues on PC Solved

Question

Hello, I'm having a problem with my new ASUS laptop. The shortcuts for the F1 to F12 keys are not working (brightness adjustment, sound, etc.), instead, the F key is engaged (for example, F5 refreshes a page instead of lowering the brightness).
When I press ctrl F5, it does the same thing (refreshing).

Could you please tell me how to make the sound, brightness, and other shortcuts functional?
Thank you in advance.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 20.0

Hello,  The key combination is fn + f1, fn + f2, etc.  Best regards  -- He who asks a question is foolish for five minutes; he who does not ask remains a fool for life. (Chinese proverb)

The [Fx] keys are associated with specific functions of the operating system, and depending on the applications ([F5] allows for refreshing, for example).

On a laptop, these keys are also associated with functions specific to laptops, such as adjusting the screen brightness, enabling/disabling wireless connectivity modules (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), or adjusting the sound volume.
The keys used alone activate Windows functions. The other functions are accessible by first pressing the [Fn] key at the bottom of the keyboard (held down, like [Shift]+[a] to type the uppercase "A").
