What happened?

I'm running a Dell Latitude 5411 and a desktop, both on Windows 11, both on Barrier 2.4.
Somehow, function keys (F1 to F12) stopped working on client machine.
Reboot on both machines does not solve the issue.
Even reinstalling, not from scratch, does not solve the problem.

Function keys work ok on host, where the keyboard is connected. The keyboard is a Logitech 915 TKL.
Function keys work ok on local laptop keyboard.

Debug on barrier client shows no output when pressing those keys.

Only those keys seem to have the problem.

Any idea? I'm really lost.

I've been doing some tests, trying to figure out the problem. I'm not sure of course if this is Barrier's issue or something else.

If I unplug the wireless dongle or turn off the keyboard and reconnect the keyboard, F_ keys work on client machine only for a couple of seconds.

Keyboard plugged in directly on client machine works flawlessly.

Also shutting down iCUE software and starting it again makes F keys work just a couple of times, maybe 1 second. I don't know if this is due to keyboard disconnection or not (I don't hear any disconnection sound effect).

Uninstalling and reinstalling Logitech G Hub software solved the problem.
WEIRD!
