How to disable F11 key?

[htao7]

Hi guys, I am wondering how to disable the F11 hotkey. Right now it opens a small window allowing me to choose between myHP and OMEN Gaming Hub. I do not want this. How can I turn it off?

Thanks!

Hi @htao7,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

The F11 hotkey on your HP laptop is likely mapped to open myHP or OMEN Gaming Hub through a built-in software feature. You can disable or reassign it using the following methods:

Method 1: Disable HP Hotkeys in MyHP

1. Open MyHP – Press F11 or search for "myHP" in the Start menu.
2. Navigate to Settings (or a similar options menu).
3. Look for a section related to Hotkeys or Keyboard Shortcuts.
4. Disable the F11 shortcut.

If no such setting exists, try the next method.

Method 2: Disable HP Hotkeys via Registry Editor

⚠ Warning: Editing the registry can affect system behavior. Proceed carefully.

1. Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
2. Navigate to:

      3. In the right pane, find ShellExecute (or similar).

      4. Right-click it and choose Modify.

      5. Delete the value data (if present) and click OK.

      6. Restart your laptop and test F11.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a great day ahead!

Hi! Under the Appkey category, I did not find 711 option, and there was no "ShellExecute" option in the right panel. Any idea what was wrong?

Thanks!!!
