How to use Fn Keys without pressing the Fn Key?

[Badhusha]

Hi HP Support,

I was using my HP 15-AY503TX Laptop for some programming. I am required to Debug the code always using the F7,F8,F9, and F10 Keys. Normally when I press the Fn keys, it will increase the Sound or change some other settings. To debug, I am required to press Fn Key near the Windows Key then the Specific Fn(E.g : F8) Keys. As I wont much use my PC For multimedia, changing the settings is rare for me. Now all I want to know is, How can I utilize the actual functionality of these function keys without pressing the Fn Key near the Windows key?. I mean, I would be happy if Fn key press is not required for Code Debugging, But required for Changing the Sound or Brightness.

Hi,

You can change the default action as follows.

Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Select the Bios option ( f10 ), then make the change shown in the document on the following link.
