HP Laptop 15-bs0xx: how do I change Function key settings?

[ron_sampson]

When I got this computer, the Fn key was defaulted to be permenantly active, so F2 dims the computer without needing Fn to be pressed. That was fine for a while, but I no longer want it active; I want to use my F# keys without having to push Fn to use F3 or whatever number. I'm fine, and would prefer, to press Fn+F8 to increase volume, or Fn+F10 to play music; that's more natural to me. I've looked for hours, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be valued.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You should be able to modify in BIOS. So turn off PC by holding power button until shutdown. Press power button and keep pressing ESC until startup menu appears. Next press F10 to enter BIOS. Under the heqading " System Configurations" set "Action key mode" to disabled.

Hope it helps,

David
