Hello All,
Advance greetings for the X-mas followed by the New year 2017.
Unfortunately,I was trying to enable/disable the Function keys from the BIOS option under the System Configuration without any luck on my 'Sprout by HP'.
I do not see any options as such there to do the required changes.
Can anyone help me in updating with any workaround for the Function keys as sometimes, it creates issues (example, Playing games/shutting down or using the office shortcuts)?
Thank you in advance. Have a nice time.
Regards,
DC-IND

Hello@DC-IND,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel.
I understand that you need assistance in disabling the function keys on your PC keyboard. Did I get it, right?
There aren’t any other ways to disable the function keys as those keys are a part of keyboard driver.
BIOS will only provide certain options like changing the boot order and test few hardware.
But the function keys cannot be disabled.
Hope this answers the question. Please let me know more.

Hello Resolv-S,
Thank you for your quick response.
Yes, you were right in identifying that, I was trying to enable/disable the function key.
Unfortunately, there is no options to disable/enable this buttons as the device does not supports it, as confirmed by Management.
Anyways, thanks a lot for your time & concern.
Merry X-mas & dvance Happy new year to all.
Regards,
DC-IND
