I have a Pavilion dv6-3010 us entertainment notebook running Windows 7. When I use the f4 key it brings up the display choice window. I need the F4 key in my telnet application. How do i disable the f4 key being a hot key for the display choice?

Hi,

 

Try holding down the fn key while pressing f4 - does this work?

 

If it does, you may want to change the settings for 'Action Keys' in the Bios Menu to Disabled as that way, you should then be able to just press f4 for the desired action, however this will apply to all the f keys - see the document below for details regarding this.

This solution is NOT. It is completely unsatisfactory, like Windows 10, which is a computer virus. Why would anyone give a thumbs up as requested.
