YES! Thank you all!
The BIOS did it.
As a "non-computer specialist" messing around with the BIOS is 
definitely NOT my first choice.
Although, admittedly, I have done that on various occasions in the past.
Here:
BIOS:
System configuration -> Function keys (behavio) ->
there is a choice between
a) Multimedia keys first
b) Function keys first.

The original setting was (a), which I switched to (b).

Now, everything is all sunshine!
