where is refresh key on envy m6

[Auntiegm]

I'm curious how to access refresh used to be F5, now on my Envy M6, F5 is the keyboard key light.

Hey Auntiegm,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

With just pressing F5, yes it will turn the keyboard light on. If you press the FN, plus the F5 key it will refresh the page. I have included a picture below.

Hope this helps. 🙂

is there a way to reverse the option so the backlight switches with the "FN" key?  all of the other computers i use F5 refreshes the screen without the "FN" key.

Hi MikeyG75, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you want to use the F-Keys without the need to use the Fn key. You may have the option to switch the functionality in the BIOS: Disable The Fn + Function Key Combination on Certain Models

If the options are not available for you, then it is not possible to do it this way.

Let me know if it helps.

I just thought I would add to this that I also think the refresh/backlight combination is the wrong way around and not intuitive with the fact we all need to refresh frequently. so it makes more sense if FN+F5 was the backlight and just F5 being to refresh.
