Inspiron 7506 2-in-1, Fn+insert not working

I purchased a Inspiron 7506 2-in-1 about 3 weeks ago.

I recently found out that Fn+insert should put the laptop to sleep, but it doesn't. There have been updates in these 3 weeks, both for the Intel display driver, Windows, and the BIOS. 

Sleeping is a problem in Windows 10/11 because S0 causes huge problems, and S1, S2 and S3 are disabled. There are many people reporting problems about S0, and I decided I will use hibernation until the problem is fixed, but I would still like Fn+insert to work because I think at some stage Microsoft will fix this problem.

Insert does not work either, although it works in Microsoft Word if in the options I select to use override mode. Nowhere else. Delete is fine.

I tried an external keyboard, and I cannot try Fn+insert, but insert does not work either, so I don't know if it is a software problem?

I would really like Fn+insert to work. What can I do?

Thank you.

    I meant "overtype", not "override" above.

    I have been reading about the problem, and in the past some people solved it by reinstalling Quickset, but my laptop does not have it. Is there a similar application for more modern laptops?

    Thank you, but unfortunately that is not the problem, as the other Functions work with Fn+ the key. It is only Fn+Insert that does not work...

    In control panel >> Search for power options first. Then, click on "Choose what the power buttons do". Select "sleep " for "When I press the sleep button" for both on battery and plugged in
