Laptops General - Read Only

[floodgatemartyr]

I turned on my laptop normally a couple months ago (no changes other than regular updates) and found that the macro keys on the left side of my built-in keyboard (1-5) were no longer working and the "X" macro key at the top no longer switched between sets (or changes color).  At that time when I tried to open Tactx to check on these keys, Tactx opened and a box came up that said "Loading" and then nothing else ever happened no matter how long I waited.  This is still how it acts now, and I've finally decided that I don't know how to fix it myself.  Macro keys 6-9 are still working, but I can't change what they're set to without Tactx.

I'm running Windows 10, and when I initially upgraded to 10, Tactx and all my macro keys worked fine and continued to work fine for several months before this happened.

Do I need to update a driver?  Reinstall Tactx?  So far, I haven't been able to find where to do either of these things.

Thanks for the help!

I'm having the exact issue but with the TactX keys built in my Alienware 15 R2. Did a recent windows update break it?

I am having the same issue. The macro keys 1-5 do not work, however 6-9 work fine.. I am surprised dell has not posted a fix for this, seeing how we pay over 2,000$ for these laptops! Get it together dell...
