Yes, that is a toggle to turn on the function keys for special functions e.g. on mine, f2 and f3 adjust the volume if you press them once. After FN+Escape, they take back on their standard F2 and F3 operating system or application functionality.

That actually did work. I now have a fully functioning F12 key again. Thanks for all the help with this everyone. Perhaps I will come across the message regarding function key + escape.
