keyboard

my keyboard has completely reset commands, function keys, everything. I have gone through the settings function keys on and off, global key. everything all the other forms have suggested.


my function keys only control brightness. f12 brings up some network log on the internet when it should do volume up like it has for years. f7 does carat broweser instead of previous media button and other keys do nothing. doing the shift+command+3 which should do area screen shot does nothing.


im thinking the software update has messed it all up cause it started doing this two softwares ago and nothing i do changes it. there is no difference when i click on or off any different. keyboard settings in the setting. it remains the exact same. I can't even do a screen grab because of the keyboard settings now.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.0
