Does certain Fn key like F11 does not work for services which are linked to automator?

Hi there,

So I did a small automator to toggle wifi on/off. I put that in services so I can assign a shortcut in keyboard in system preference.

I can assign F12, F10 all seems good but when I assign F11, when I press F11 it does not do anything but give me a error sound... However assign F11 to other non-service like mission control totally works... Wondering if F11 or other Fkeys have certain program or what's the logic behind this?

I'm using Apple Wireless Keyboard (latest) with my Macbook pro on Catalina

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Check / Test is you have same issue (error sound) in safe mode for troubleshooting.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

Note: Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.
