FN media keys not working

Simply put, the FN keys that have to do with media don't work, except the volume up and volume down (and mute) keys. However, even though they're the only ones that work, they don't show the volume slider like the used to. This has been around for quite some time and I have been ignoring it but it's starting to really trouble me now. If I remember correctly, I accidentally caused it when I was fucking around in the sound control system because I couldn't use my bluetooth headphones as an Output and Input at the same time. 

 

TL;DR: FN keys of Forward, Backward, Pause/Play, and Stop aren't working. Volume+, Volume-, and Mute ones are working but they still don't show the volume slider at the top left corner. What do? Thanks

 

P.S: I don't know if this helps with anything but, some shortcuts with the Windows key also don't work. Windows R doesn't open run and Windows E doesn't open the file explorer. Windows D does work however and shows the desktop, and of course the windows key itself works and shows the start menu.

 

P.S again: The issue has been fixed. Here is what I did: opened services.msc from run, went to the service "Windows Audio" and double clicked it. Clicked stop then start. All is good now. I won't delete so that anyone having the same issue hopefully stumbles upon this
