Windows 10: fn+esc key combination doesn't work

I have a dell Inspiron 15 3567 and it has this combination which switches between the primary and secondary


it worked when I first got the laptop but then it stopped working for some reason


the only way I can change this is by going into bios mode or something but I want to quickly switch cuz sometimes I want it to lower the volume and sometimes I want it to do the shortcuts in some games without pressing fn you know?

"fn+esc" stopped working

Hi,

I have a dell inspiron 3542 laptop

Before to change the behavior of function keys I used to simply press 'fn+esc' which used to the change the purpose/behavior of fn keys,

but now fn+esc does nothing. I have to go to bios everytime always to change the behavior

the 'fn+esc' was very useful as i use function keys for both function and multimedia. It is problem to turn off a laptop always to change the behavior

How do I get the setting back - 'Using Fn+esc to change the behavior of fn keys?'

 

Esc key not working without pressing Fn

On my HP Probook 650 G1 some of the F1 - F12 keys have special functions like changing the volume/brightness, etc. I changed my BIOS settings so that I don't need to press the fn key to use those options, but now the esc key also only works when I press fn + esc. Is it possible to leave the F1 - F12 keys like this but still use the esc key without pressing fn?

 

FN key always on

Fn key got absolutely nothing to do with BIOS.

It just requires some bizarre combination. One of this should do the trick:

fn + scrl
fn+ num
fn + F11
fn + F8
