New laptop.
Not the “dashboard won’t show up when i hit the button” issue.
Every time I click somewhere outside of the dashboard it minimizes the dashboard. Hitting the button brings it back. Rather annoying that it always has to be brought back. I followed setup instructions to rhe letter.
I do recall having the same issue on my old laptop but cannot remember what the fix was.
Grateful for any suggestions.

Re: Disappearing dashboard
Solved. Issue was the function keys were locked. I was able to click to unlock the dock but to lock it I had to use the Control/F8 key and didn't realize I had to hold down the FN key too. Stupid Windows.

Re: Disappearing dashboard
FN (function) keys are specific to laptops and maybe some compact keyboards that allow you to have stuff like volume and brightness controls without needing extra room.
I don't know if there is a setting to change it from a toggle or default to use the function keys since it is primarily a hardware thing.
