Need help

[Rien]

Some months ago I bought a new hp laptop for work. The problem is that I cant use my fkeys without pressing the fn key at the same time. The fkeys are now used for brightness, volume, etc. settings.

 

Does anyone know how to change the settings so that I can just use my fkeys as they supposed to be used? Thanks in advance.

Disable fn in the BIOS

 

To disable, or enable, the function key (fn) in the BIOS, do the following steps.

1. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
2. Press the f10 key to open the BIOS setup window. (On newer computers, you need to hold down the "esc" key. Then you can opt to go into the BIOS settings.)
3. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow keys to navigate to the System Configuration option.

4. Use the up-arrow or down-arrow keys to navigate to the Action Keys Mode option, and then press the "enter" key to display the Enable / Disable menu.
5. Select the desired mode:

    
6. Disabled: You still have the ability to use all those neat shortcut features like ejecting discs, toggling the WiFi and so on with the f1 through f12 keys. Now, in order to use them, you need to hold down the "fn" button to activate the shortcut feature. For exmple, if Disabled , pressing fn + f11 will mute the sound as indicated on the key on this model PC. Alternatively, pressing f11 only will minimize and maximize a web browser if open. (The action keys may vary depending on the model of notebook.)
7. Enabled : Requires pressing only f1 through f12 to use the action as indicated on the action keys.
   For example, if Enabled , pressing f11 only will mute the sound as indicated on the key on this model PC. Alternatively, pressing fn + f11 will minimize and maximize a web browser if open.
   The action keys may vary depending on the model of notebook.
8. Press f10 key to save the selection and restart the computer.

The function key (fn) option can be reset at any time by going back into the BIOS.
