HP Recommended
Product: Pavilion Desktop 595-p0xxx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Pavilion Desktop 595-p0xxx, 3LA57AA#ABA, running Windows 10 64 bit.

 

The computer came with a wireless keyboard with multimedia function keys.  Anytime I want to use a normal F1, F2, etc, I have to hit the "Fn" key first.  I want to reverse this, or just disable the multimedia action.

- There is no Fn lock button.

- There is no Lock button on the Esc key

- The only Lock button on the key board does exactly that - it locks the computer and you must enter the PIN again.

- No combination of Alt, Shift, Ctrl, with Fn has helped

- The BIOS boot up solution does not work. There is no longer anything in the BIOS mentioning the Fn or Action keys.

- There is nothing in Windows 10 that seems to control this.

 

Is there a way for me to do this?  Or, if I but a new keyboard, will it work any differently if it lacks multimedia actions on the Function Keys?

Thank you!
