I have Late 2015 iMac and after the latest Catalina update, I am no longer able to use F1, F2 and other keys.
Instead, there is option for Touch bar (?!), while I am using the apple magic keyboard.
Is there a way to switch to F1 keys or am I missing it?
Boot into Safe Mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support) by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

Here's the preference pane from my Late 2015 iMac…
iMacs do not have Touch Bars.
No longer use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys
