How to disable function key

How to disable the function key ? It is because i need to use the F1,F2,F3, ... in the game and it is very annoying that once i press the F1,F2 while playing, it comes up with the function of the function key. Beside that, I had tried the suggested solution which restart the laptop and disable the function key in the BIOS setup window by press the F10 button once it restarted. But it does not show anything when i pressed F10. So, I was wondering how to disable the function key and function only when I pressed the FN key on my laptop.

Hi! @ZhiJie99, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

I understand that you need to know how to disable the function keys on your PC.

Don't worry I will try to help you out.

Please try the steps recommend below.

To disable, or enable, the function key (fn) in the BIOS, do the following steps.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Press the f10 key to open the BIOS setup window.
Press the right-arrow or left-arrow keys to navigate to the System Configuration option.
Press 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.
Select the desired mode:
Disabled: Requires pressing and holding the function key (fn) while pressing one of the f1 through f12 keys to use the action indicated on the action key.
For example, on some computer models, if the Action Keys Mode is Disabled, pressing the f11 key will minimize and maximize a web browser if open. Alternatively, pressing and holding the fn + f11 keys will mute the sound.
The action keys may vary depending on the model of notebook.
Enabled: Requires pressing only one of the f1 through f12 keys to use the action as indicated on the action key.
For example, on some computer models, if the Action Keys Mode is Enabled, pressing f11 will mute the sound as indicated on the action key. Alternatively, pressing and holding fn + f11 will minimize and maximize a web browser if open.
The action keys may vary depending on the model of notebook.
Press the f10 key to save the selection and restart the computer.
The function key (fn) option can be reset at any time.

Let me know if this works!

Have a beautiful day ahead! 🙂
