Hi everybody.
I run Win7 Ultimate 64 on a partition of my iMac 27" 3.4 Intel Core i7 and recently upgraded into Yoshemite.
Some two weeks ago, I was trying to configure my keyboard on a game playing on Windows (the only reason that I installed Windows to be honest, just to play Medieval Total War) and after the controls' change, my HotKeys controls on the Windows, stopped working (controlling brightness, sound etc).
I've tried everything -I know-, updated all drivers, using the FN key, and ticking the box with "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." also in both boots without result.
It is not of any big crisis (after-all, it is the Mac that I use the most) but it is mind-bending to find out why and fix it.
Mind that while on Mac, the Fkeys work properly.
Any help would do.

Many thanks in advance.

Open Control Panel while in Windows 7 and select Boot Camp. Check for any Boot Camp updates. I don't know if there are any but since you updated to Yosemite, you may also need to update drivers for Windows 7.
