FN keys BIOS problem

[Se77en]

Hello, where is missing BIOS option for disabling FN keys for HP ENVY All-in-One?

I don't see such option even latest BIOS updated. How to get rid of this retarded functionality?

Tried everything but still no solution. It makes me crazy!

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

Change the action key setting from the BIOS Setup Utility.

1. Press and hold the Power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.

2. Turn on the computer and immediately press the f10 key repeatedly to open the BIOS Setup Utility.

3. Press the right or left arrow key to select the System Configuration menu.

4. Press the up or down arrow key to select Action Keys Mode.

5. Press the Enter key to display the Enabled / Disabled options.

   

6. Press the up or down arrow key to select one of the options.

   • Enabled: Does not require pressing fn to use the actions printed on the function keys.

     For example, pressing f8 lowers the sound as printed on the key. Alternately, pressing both the fn + f8 minimizes and maximizes a web browser.

   • Disabled: Requires pressing fn to use the actions printed on the function keys.

     For example, pressing f1 opens a help window. Alternately, pressing both the fn + f1 keys puts the computer to sleep as printed on the key.

7. Press the f10 key to save the selection and restart the computer.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

As mentioned before: There is NO SUCH OPTION in my All-in-One computer BIOS. HP should implement is asap!

I don't need service support because it is not HW problem.

We just need to force your SW engineers to add this feature in future BIOS version.

Please forward this issue to HP development team. Thanks
