@superluccix,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I recommend you follow the below steps to disable function keys.

  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.

    BIOS setup window with the System Configuration option and Action Keys Mode selected

  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.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Thanks for replying, unfortunately that is not what my BIOS screen looks like in the slightest. Mine has a white background with a light blue overlay on top of it. My BIOS does not have an option to do anything at all with the Function Keys

@superluccix,

 

Could you please share the screenshot of the entire keyboard, so that I can provide you with accurate information which should help you resolve this issue.

 

Waiting for your response!

 

Cheers 🙂
