FN problem от HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop

[ustav]

It's a popular question, but I did not find an answer to my own 🙂

I am using a USB keyboard with a FN button on my HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop.

It works as:

FN+F1 = HELP

FN+F2 = SAVE

FN+F3 = SEARCH

...

F1, F2, F3 ... works as MUTE, VOL-, VOL+,... 

I want to invert this situation, New (F1) should work as Now (FN+F1) 

Thanks.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

The Windows key on your keyboard is labelled as a Windows flag icon  or  and is used in many key press combinations.

• To switch from multimedia to standard function, press the fn+esc keys simultaneously; this locks the keys to standard function.
• To switch back from standard function to multimedia, press the fn+esc keys simultaneously again. Pressing the fn key simultaneously with an f1 to f11 key performs the standard function.

Thanks for you answer, but I have bad news for you.

Your solution not worked.

"Win+ESC" does not works. No effect.

Thank you for posting back. 

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.
