    ,

    It sounds like your keyboard shortcuts might have been remapped accidentally. Here’s how you can change them back:

    1. Open Settings: Press Windows key + I to open the Settings menu.
    2. Go to Accessibility: In the Settings menu, select "Accessibility".
    3. Find Keyboard Settings: Under Accessibility, click on "Keyboard".
    4. Enable Shortcut Customization: Scroll down to the "Keyboard shortcuts" section and toggle the switch to enable customization.
    5. Remap Keys: Click on "Remap a key" and select the key you want to change. Assign the correct function (e.g., volume control).
    6. Save and Apply Changes: Save your changes and test the new shortcuts to make sure they work as expected.

    If you're using Windows 11, you can also use the PowerToys Keyboard Manager to remap shortcuts more easily.

    Hope this helps!
