My F keys (f1, f3, f4 etc.) are not working properly - meaning that I have to press fn+f1 for example for f1 to work. Now when I press just f1 I get audio muted because that is what is supposed to do when pressed fn+f1. How to reverse this thing? So that when I press f2 for example on a file it would enable rename function, because in order to do that now I have to press fn+f2

Look carefully at your keyboard - there is probably a "Fn lock" function. On mine there is a little padlock symbol on the ESC key, and Fn+ESC toggles Fn lock on/off. But if on a laptop think about keys like Ins, Del, Home, End as they might be on a Fn function if you toggle Fn lock.
