I got a new laptop, a Lenovo Thinkbook 14, and it has a cool feature that I personally don't enjoy: the F1-F12 row of keys includes an extra functionality like increasing-decreasing sound, screen brightness, etc. The thing is that by default the keys do that instead of being the regular F1-F12 key, and to actually use the F1-F12 key the Fn button needs to be pressed down. I don't like that because I prefer to have direct access to the F1-F12 keys.
There is an option to disable the described behavior in the BIOS (called "Hotkey mode" if I recall correctly), and I did that which solved the issue for me. At least until I suspend and wake up the system. Then, the default behavior comes back (i.e. hotkey mode). If I reboot the computer, I get again the behavior I want (function key mode) but only until the system suspends again.
I don't have the slightest idea as to why or how this happens.
Here I share the results from
