HP notebooks: Change function keys
On many HP notebooks, the function keys are permanently linked to the [Fn] key. This can be changed via BIOS.
Change function key assignment
Without pressing the [Fn] key, the function keys are assigned additional settings - such as brightness control, volume control, etc.
- You can easily restore this standard configuration - as is common with most other notebooks.
- To do this, go to the BIOS via [F10] during the boot process and use the arrow keys to navigate to the »System Configuration« menu.
- Switch the »Action Key Mode« as you wish, so that the keys react as you are used to.
- To apply the changes permanently, exit the BIOS menu via »Exit | Exit Saving Changes «.
