History has shown that all new versions of Windows will work properly after the first 7 years have gone, so you don't hurry so much. Wait at least another 6 years, then it will start working.
Uninstall the HP hotkey support software and see how your laptop behaves without it. You are using an unsupported operating system on your laptop so don't expect everything to work properly without tinkering around
The problem here is, its a wrapped cmd installer and there are no tools or programs to be seen in "Programs". Though there are HP folders. One has a "logging.dll" only and one has the installation of the LTE Software/Driver. So I started it again...and it claimed it uninstalled. All fn Keys except for Brightness were still workign as intendted after a restart.
