Hi,

I have gone into my BIOS and I do not have a Action Key Mode - do I need to buy a new keyboard ?

 

It's very frustrating not being able to use the F keys without using the FN button

 

Who would have designed it this way ?

 

Regards, Jon

@jondobbs Greetings from the HP Community!

If the option is not available in your BIOS, that would mean that the device does not support that feature, 

Not all products support togging on/off for the Fn key.

 

Most Fn key toggle only works when the keyboard with the Fn function is connected to a laptop, not on desktops or all-in-ones.

 

I hope that answers your query,  

If it did, simply select "Accept as solution", to help the community grow,

Have a great day ahead.
