Sorry I'm sure this is a dumb question. I have a brand new Magic Keyboard connected to my Win10 laptop thought Bluetooth. I ran 'DPInst', finished the installation and nothing has happened now. None of the Fn keys work and no overlay comes up. I'm I missing something? The keyboard works fine on it's own and shows up in the device manager as 'Magic Keyboard' under bluetooth devices. Pls let me know and thanks for your time.

You also need to download and extract the 'Binaries' zip from the latest release: https://github.com/uxsoft/AppleWirelessKeyboard/releases/

Run the 'AppleWirelessKeyboardCore' executable from inside there and you'll see it in your tray.

I have downloaded that part but nothing happens. No tray icon or anything seen. Am I doing something wrong? I am running Windows 10 64bit 21H1

@gferreroferri perhaps you installed x64 .NET instead of x86 .NET which you must do for it to work even if you have a x64 architecture computer. I've submitted a PR with installation instructions including this. Please refer to that if you still have any trouble!
