How can I disable to fn key on the HP Pavilion All-in-one 24-r0xx so I can access F1 thru F12 instead of the actions? I have already tried going into the BIOS to disable the "Action Key" as shown on many other threads, but the BIOS is different for the all-in-ones and there is no option to disable it from there. 

 

Please help me find a solution to this. I can't work properly on the computer without accessing the function keys!!

 

Thanks!

hi

There is no bios possibility, it is only for most laptops not desktop and all in one until today


unfortunately the only possible solutions currently are software, or hardware replacement
There is a solution, but that is to block the key, and you may break the keyboard
Unfortunately either this is not suitable or user feedback
