Left ALT key and windows keys swapped - no FN key on my keyboard

Anonymous

I'm running Windows 10.

Left ALT and left Windows keys are swapped and I can't figure out how to swap them back. I do not have the Fn key on my keyboard. I have a Microsoft brand keyboard. (Wired Keyboard 600).

I have tried unplugging the keyboard and holding both Backspace+space and space+N but neither have worked.

I don't know if it's just me, but it looks as if the actual keys are actually the wrong way around. They should be the other way around, right?

Answer 2

Thank you for that image, it is an older version of the 600keyboadwith no Fn key.

Try each of the following keyboard shortcuts one at a time to see if that switches those keys back:

Esc + A

Esc + S

Esc + Spacebar for 3 seconds

Tap the Windows key twice

If none of those work for you:

Open Device Manager

Expand the Keyboards section

Right click your keyboard and choose 'Uninstall'

Then restart (not shut down) your PC

Hi CasiaSchreyer,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

On your keyboard, two keys to the right of the spacebar, is there not a blue Fn Key, please provide a photo of your physical keyboard.

Yeah, my LG keyboard is the other way around. But I've never swapped the physical keys before
