Windows 10: Can't find how to disable function/multimedia keys.

Hi, I'm having some issues with my function hotkeys, in games like Minecraft, I need to use hotkeys life F3 + G/H and so forth. Problem is that Fn + G/H controls the volume, making it unable to use those controls in-game. I've looked around everywhere, cannot find a proper solution. Motherboard is a Lenovo IS6XM.Thanks in advance.
