Hi @Bernardlecanard,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

The HP 650 Wireless Keyboard does not have a dedicated Pause/Break key, which can be an issue for software that relies on it. However, there are a few workarounds you can try on Windows 11:

Possible Keyboard Shortcuts for Pause/Break:

1. Fn + B – On some HP keyboards, this combination simulates the Pause/Break key.
2. Ctrl + Fn + B – Try this if the above doesn’t work.
3. Windows On-Screen Keyboard:
   • Press Windows + R, type osk, and press Enter.
   • The On-Screen Keyboard will appear. If it shows the Pause key, you can click it directly.
      

Alternative Workaround:

If none of the shortcuts work, you can remap another key to act as Pause/Break using a tool like:

• Microsoft PowerToys (Keyboard Manager utility)

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
