(Im sorry ahead of time for this being so long)
I've had my laptop for 6 months almost exactly and in mid-May I started having an issue with my function keys. I had my laptop setup to have F5-6-7 as skip back, play, and skip backward because I frequently watch videos on VLC or listen to music on WMP. Those three buttons started to not work at all as soon as I had another program open (I noticed it most when I opened chrome). I am a blogger so music is usually always playing when I'm on Tumblr, but back to the point. After a week or 2 of searching everywhere for a fix and opening a post on the Toshiba forums and getting no help at all I went to a restore point a week and half before it happened. The issue stopped but my laptop's speed dropped to where it was almost unusable and anytime I typed on the keyboard it did more gibberish than actual letters. I downloaded a 8.1 factory ISO from Microsoft's website to wipe and fix anything that might be wrong. It worked but I had to reinstall Toshiba drivers so I could have the correct drivers for my screen, function keys, and my processor. Now I'm back to a buggy keyboard. The problem seems to lie in those drivers but I don't know how to fix the problem and keep full functionality. But as someone who likes to write I really need my keyboard to work properly.
An example (off my memory) of what it does it when I press backspace it types /w3 (or something like that).
I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me fix this. Thanks.
