My CTRL key started behaving like my FN key...FN key doesn't work

Hi -- I have an XPS 15 7590. I was just using my laptop like normal when suddenly my FN shortcuts stopped working / began doing things beside what the F key icons show. And somehow, now the CTRL button is behaving like the FN key? (e.g. -- "CTRL + F1" mutes audio. "CTRL + F2" turns volume down, "CTRL + F3" turns it up. "CTRL + F11" turns down the brightness.)

I'm really not sure what happened, but I definitely didn't go into my keyboard settings and manually make those changes. I've updated drivers, restarted, and the problem persists. Does anyone know to fix?

Thank you!

Solved my own problem! Someone with a different computer reported the same issue. The fix is to turn off F key lock -- which on my computer, just means pressing "FN + ESC."
