After upgrading to Windows 10 some keys to my Toshiba Laptop stopped working. The keys are the lighting and were working perfectly before the update. The laptop is Toshiba Satellite C55D-A.
 
What exactly are those "some keys"? The function keys? Did this happen right after you installed Windows 10 or some time afterwards?
 


Those are probably mapped by software then, did you install the drivers from Toshiba? There should be something like a hotkey utility.
 
It was the Toshiba software that I needed to change the settings, the function keys for Toshiba were turn off. I guess they were turn off after the windows 10 install, thanks for the help.
 
Hey! if it is functional key like F1, then it doesn't work in windows 10 anymore. You can't get help in windows 10 with F1 key. MS has replaced it's functionality with Cortana. It's the search box you'll find in the start menu.
