MS Access 2016 Debugging

I upgraded my laptop to I7 with windows 10 pre-loaded. I also downloaded Office 365 with MS Access. No problem in this part of the upgrade.
However, if I start up MS Access, open some code the F8 (Sigle step through the code) and F5 (Runt the code to the end) does not work (In MSaccess debug)
I did change the Options in MS Access, Current Database, 'Use Access Special Keys', without success.
If I now press F8, i brings up a Windows Screen Management option. I am at a loss as I do not know how to switch the Windows shortcut for F8 off.
Is there an Expert that can assist?  Much appreciated. . . . . .

1. Is there a timer event running?  It is extremely dangerous to open a code window when some open form has an active timer event running.
2. Do you have other code in the form that is trapping keystrokes?
3. Does the problem exist for databases that worked correctly on other systems?

Thanks for your reply, my answers to your questions:

1) No Timer events active
2) No other code trapping keystrokes
3)The problem only exit on the new i7 laptop. if i work on my previous laptop the problem does not occur. . .
Unless you have a burning desire for O2016, try uninstalling it and downloading O2013.

Are you using the 32-bit version of Office?  You should be.  Even MS recommends sticking with 32-bit unless you have a need for opening humongous spreadsheets.  Otherwise nothing in O2016 is different and it will only be incompatible with older versions - especially Access.
