    how can I disable f1-f10 keys, while still being able to use them in games?


    whenever I push f1 this pops how to get help in windows 10, pops up and takes me out of my current tab/game so I was wondering if there was any way to disable the main function of these keys, but still allowing me to use the keys in game's and such?

    :)

    How to disable F1 key

    How to disable F1 Help key?... Nobody since the dawn of the time, and I mean nobody, EVER needed to press that freaking key to get help. NOBODY!!!! And everytime someone presses to that damn key accidentally curses to the parents of those who invented that
    F1 key (which is avarage 1000 cursing people per minute around the world)..

    Windows, for goodness sake, tell me how to disable this cursed key... And make it "optional" for next versions of windows and see how many people will choose to shortcut help to F1. (Clue: NOBODY!!!!!!!)

    how can I cancel that F1...

    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.
