Just the other day I noticed that the shortcut keys Ctrl+home and Ctrl+end have stopped functioning. I haven't changed anything so would appreciate any advice on how to restore these functions please.
And Ctrl-prt sc is also not working  - used it yesterday! 
I've done a reboot and a restart to no avail.

    Check that you haven't set some kind of function lock to on

    Tried that - the FN lock key is on the esc key - then there's a series of F keys but no dedicated FN key.

    EDIT - found an FN key next to Ctrl - will try that!
