My cat walked on my keybord (dell)

Question

My cat walked on my keyboard and now the f keys are crazy, i mean, once they used to adjust brightness and sound volume, but now f3 is opening the search tab, f11 is fullscreen mode, f12 open dev tools, and f1 is help. I know those are the classic functions of those keys, but I can't make them work as the laptop intended no matter what! I tried:

deleting the keyboard drives and reinstalling them
fn + esc
fn + every other key on the keyboard(lol) Please help!

If System Restore is enabled, restore Windows to its state as before the cat event. — harrymc, Aug 17 '22 at 20:04
Does your keyboard have any button for the Fn Lock feature to switch between standard function keys and the media keys? — Justme, Aug 17 '22 at 20:14

@John - Before you complain about the drive by downvotes, and no one fixing your answer, you didn’t issue an edit to your answer before deleting it — Ramhound, Aug 18 '22 at 04:29
4 downvotes in well under 4 minutes. No time . I think you completely missed my point. — John, Aug 18 '22 at 10:56

It sounds like you turned on Fn lock. Press the Fn lock key, or if that does not work press Fn + Escape to fix it.
