For some reason, my Samsung NP270E5E (ATIV Book 2) laptop does not keep my Fn function locked after I restart the laptop. (Running Windows 10, all drivers up to date.) I've tried pressing Shift+Fn Lock, but to no avail. Have I missed something?

It seems like your keyboard has a dedicated Fn Lock key:
Use this key to keep the Fn function locked.
Otherwise, your keyboard may have an Fn Lock that appears as a secondary action on another key. You will need in this case to hold Fn and press that Lock key. To disable, hold Fn and press that key again.
In the below example, the Lock function is found on the Esc key:

Check your BIOS settings. There may be a setting to set function lock enabled at boot.

It's not there, already checked. This may pertain to Dell laptops rather than Samsung laptops. – Jorje Diego – 2019-12-02T08:14:31.847
The thing is, I know that the button exists. It works, but it resets back to its original state (fn lock off) after I restart. – Jorje Diego – 2019-12-02T08:13:50.240
You could use a AutoHotkey script to simulate pressing the Fn Lock key, and schedule it to execute on login. Use the procedure in this answer to find the key-code of this key. If the key does not have a key-code, then it's handled by the keyboard itself and there is no solution (unless the manufacture supplies some utility for setting the default state).
