How did you got the break key back with this post

@StabijJack I am afraid I do not inderstand your question, and I think it is likely other people will not understand it either. Perhaps you could provide more details?

I have an HP G62 laptop and have been successful using 'ctl+fn+alt+pause' to toggle an RDP session in and out of full screen mode.

Ctrl + Fn + pause (right hand shift)

I was also worried about the pause break key on my HP Pavilion g6 laptop.

You can see that the right hand side shift also acts as a pause key but when you simply press it, it doesn't respond (because that is acting as a shift key primarily and not  as a pause key).

I needed this pause key mainly for gaming purposes and I found out how to use the pause key.

✔️Press the "fn" key + press the 'right hand side shift/pause key'.

 

:LightBulb:Note: After you press the "fn" key you leave that and then press the shift/pause key, if you have to resume, again press the "fn" key and then press the shift/pause key.

If you have a problem when press the "fn" key, check this link: HP Notebook PCs - How to Lock or Unlock the Fn (Function) Key 

 

Hope this helps!!!
