"F" Keys

My keyboard doesn't have an "F-Lock" key, and whenever I press one of the F keys it always does the other function, example the volume up, down, and mute buttons are F1, F2, and F3, so I have to hold down the FN key to activate the F Keys. I want to know if there's a toggle for it in settings, or a keyboard shortcut to disable the other functions like volume and screen brightness.

I dont know about your HP computer but on my Lenovo ThinkPad, in the bios/setup is a setting for not needing the Fn key press to work the F# keys.

My BIOS doesn't have that setting as far as I could tell, but thanks for the help anyway!

Hello I am a community Windows advisor here to help you.

On some keyboards that don't have a fn-lock key you can press fn + esc to enable or disable fn-lock

I hope this helps

Hi Ajaaw

Click your Start Button, then just type Mobility and hit Enter

On the resulting App, is there a Function Key setting that you can change from Multi-media to standard functions?
