Windows 10: F1

Hi, I have a Dell G5 PC 2021 and I haven't ever had this problem but now I'm getting it. I play Minecraft and when I click F1, my screen shuts down for a minute. It may be an issue with the PC itself but I was just curious if I could get any help because normally, F1 gets rid of the hot bar from view and that's not happening right now. I don't see anything in key binds to fix this either. Also, not sure if this is an optifine 1.18.2 thing but any water that is logged with a block kelp hitting the surface of water for example turns grey and I don't know why. If anyone sees this, thank you f

:)

 

Volume connected with f1- can't get it to work

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, we would like to know the details requested below:

• When you say, “the volume wont work its connected to the f1 key” are you not able to get sound on your computer?
  
• Which update was installed on the computer? To check go to
  Start >> Settings >> Update & Security >> Windows Update >> View update history.
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type: winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

Ideally, the F1 key is used as the help key in most of the programs. It opens a help screen when the F1 key is pressed.



Meanwhile, you may want to try the steps mentioned below:



If you are trying to use the F1 key to control volume on the computer, you may want to press
Fn key + F1 and see if that helps.



However, if you do not get sound on your computer, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

Fix sound problems in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.

Anyone know how to disable F1's thing?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

• Which game are you referring to?

The function keys can’t be disabled on Windows. I would suggest you to try and change the controller settings of the game and reassign the F1 Key to a different key.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Intel Core i7 920 Build for a friend.

Excellent fellas I will look into the smaller HAF.

I noticed several suggesting the Samsung F1 1TB. Is it really a better drive than the WD I suggested I like WD it has +2 yrs warranty over the Samsung F1 and it is only $10.00 more.

Funny you suggest the Foxconn BloodRage GTI I like it very much from reading as well. My pick was between it and the one I listed.
