Function Keys Don't Work on Macbook air

I cannot anymore control the lightness (F1, F2) and volume (F10, F11, F12) from function keyboard.

Boot in Safe Mode:

In Safe Mode, login items do not open at login, certain System Preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are intentionally fixed.

  1. Boot into: Safe Mode [Hold Down the shift key upon boot].
  2. Log in: as same user
  3. Wait: 30 seconds
  4. Restart: the Mac
  5. Boot Up: normally
