Volume keys on apple keyboard not working on Windows 10

I want to point out that I'm using a PC and not a Mac. I recently purchased an apple keyboard with the numeric pad and connected via USB and everything works great, except for the F-Keys(they work normally for Windows 10). Is there anyway to make the volume/play/pause/brightness keys to work? I have already tried to install BootCamp with the necessary files and rebooted. Nothing has changed.


Please help me. Much Appreciated.

Windows, Windows 6

Sorry about that, not sure why your response only showed up now, even though I refresh every so often.


I've no idea what an "-m qualifier" is haha. I understand your first two sentences and I understand that I need to use Brigadier in order to acquire the correct drivers instead of the "5.x.x drivers". But I have no idea how or what to download. I know of github, but I've never used it before.


If it's not too much trouble, can you give me some steps to follow in a simplified manner? I'm quite the novice! I apologize for leaving that out from my initial post. You've been very helpful! Much Appreciated!

I've no idea what a powershell is. Can you tell me step by step what I need to do? Can you please be more specific and simplify your explanations for someone who is not tech savvy.


Now that I have brigadier, does it have all the files I need? Do I need to download anything else?


What about my previous bootcamp files/drivers and the applekeyboardinstaller64, can I delete those? Or do I keep them?

I'm not sure which one you meant, so I tried both.


If I right click "Brigadier" and click run with powershell, it briefly opens powershell and then it immediately closes. There is nothing I can do.


On the other hand, if I manually open powershell and run as admin, what do I do after? Do I type the stuff above?

brigadier -m iMac19,1?



Thank you for your patience. Much Appreciated!
