The fn-key on the Apple Wireless Keyboard is simply not recognized in Windows 10, though other keys works.

In addition, you can modify some of the hardware keys under Settings General Keyboard Hardware Keyboard. One of the options is to set a hardware key to function as an ESC key. On August 7, 2007, Apple released a redesigned model of the Apple Wireless Keyboard. Like the wired Apple Keyboard, the new model is thinner than its predecessors and has an aluminum enclosure. Another addition is the new functions added to the function keys, such as media controls and Dashboard control.

Windows 10 is installed with BootCamp on a MacBook Pro (early 2015), with dual boot.

The wireless keyboard works perfectly in MacOS Sierra, no issues with fn-key there. The built-in keyboard on the MacBook and it's fn-button works fine in both Mac OS Sierra and Windows 10.

Reinstalling 'AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe' in Windows does not help.

Disable/enable the HID Keyboard Device in Device Manager, does not help eiter, nor updating driver.

Using tools such as SharpKeys (in Windows) doesn't even detect the fn-button, which leads me into thinking this is a low level driver issue.

Control features on your Mac

By default, the top row of keys on your Apple keyboard control many different features on your Mac. For example, pressing the keys with speaker icons adjusts the volume.

Use standard function keys

Standard function keys work differently depending on the app and the keyboard shortcuts that you've set up. Some apps have their own keyboard shortcut preferences that you can customize.

To use the standard function keys, hold the Fn (Function) key when pressing a function key. For example, pressing both Fn and F12 (speaker icon) performs the action assigned to the F12 key instead of raising the volume of your speakers.

If your keyboard doesn't have an Fn key, try pressing and holding the Control key when pressing a function key.

Change the default function key behavior

If you want to change the top row of keys to work as standard function keys without holding the Fn key, follow these steps:

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences.
2. Click Keyboard.
3. Select 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys'.

If you don't see 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys', you might be using a keyboard not made by Apple. These keyboards might need a utility to change the keyboard functions. Check with your keyboard manufacturer for more information.
