I find the lock screen key in the upper right corner of my keyboard extremely annoying.  I am constantly locking my screen by accident simply by reaching for a print job or any other mundane moving while working on my PC.  Is there a way to disable that particular key?  Thanks for any help you can provide!

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

  • Are you referring to the computer locking system ( Windows key + L)?
  • Could you please share the picture of the keyboard?
  • Is it a wired or wireless keyboard?

Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi!  Thank you for responding!!  No, I am speaking of an actual key on the upper right corner of the keyboard.  It has a padlock

Thank you for the picture,
It looks like, the disabling lock key function is not possible on this model. 

However, you can check in the bios on how to disable or enable, the function key (fn) in the BIOS, do the following steps.

  1. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
  2. Press the f10 key to open the BIOS setup window. ...
  3. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow keys to navigate to the System Configuration option.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
