F4 repeat function is not working properly in Office 365 Home in one machine

F4 used to repeat all actions since the last mouse click, but now only repeats the last keystroke (eg,) the last letter of a word). However it is still ok for repasting etc.

In another 2016 laptop, it works as it should. I have checked all the Options settings and they are the same. Does anyone know the reason, or a work around for this? Thanks

    Have you tried turning off Overtype mode (if it is enabled)?
