I recently installed Windows 11, and since then, I have been facing a problem. When I press the F12 key, neither my Omen Gaming Hub nor the HP Command Center opens. Please help me with this

Hi @Srikar_4152,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
Thanks for reaching out! Since you've recently installed Windows 11 on your HP ENVY x360 14-es0000 (743T0AV) and are experiencing issues with the F12 key not launching Omen Gaming Hub or HP Command Center, here are a few steps you can try:
Troubleshooting Steps
- Check if the Omen Gaming Hub and HP Command Center are installed:
- Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
- Search for Omen Gaming Hub and HP Command Center.
- If not installed, you can download them from the Microsoft Store or HP's official site.
- Update HP Hotkey Support Drivers:
- Visit the HP Software and Driver Downloads page: HP ENVY x360 14 inch 2-in-1 Laptop PC 14-es0000 (743T0AV) Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Suppor....
- Download and install the latest HP Hotkey Support or System Event Utility.
- Check Function Key Behavior in BIOS:
- Restart your laptop and press Esc repeatedly to enter the Startup Menu.
- Press F10 to enter BIOS.
- Look for an option like Action Keys Mode and make sure it's enabled.
- Save and exit BIOS.
- Reinstall or Repair Omen Gaming Hub:
- Uninstall the app from Settings > Apps.
- Reinstall it from the Microsoft Store.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
