How to allow Function Keys to respond as F1, F2, etc

Greg_Taillon · ‎09-06-2022

HP Wireless keyboards come with the alternate functions of the Function Keys such as Increase Volume, Decrease Volume, etc. , instead of responding with F2 or F3. To fix this look at your left Shift key. In the right bottom of the key it will show "fn {picture of a Lock}" . this is what you use to revert the functions. Hold the fn key down and press the Left Shift key. This will toggle the Function keys to respond with their normal values or F1, F2, etc.
