HP Laptop 17-bs0xx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So sometimes, when I'm playing a game, I go to hit Escape but instead I hit the f1 key a few times on accident (bound by default to help) and I have to wait for it to load up chrome with a bing search for "how to get help in windows 10" so I can immediately exit it. It's getting to be a bit annoying as it causes a little bit of lagging in my game and it's a hassle to get out of fullscreen etc just so I can close the useless tab I just opened. Is there any way to make the f1 key not pop up a window of Chrome when I hit it?

Thank you! This worked perfectly. I also learned I could show the estimated time of battery life remaining through BIOS.
