  1. How can I disable 'Fn + W' ?


    Hi, I recently had this issue where WASD had switched with the Arrow keys. Turns out I had accidentally pressed 'Fn + W', and doing that again solved my issue.

    Do you know if this feature can be permanently disabled? It's quite annoying, and while gaming I'd rather not be distracted by this.

    Windows 10 - Disable "fn" lock?

    To disable, or enable, the function key (fn) in the BIOS, do the following steps.

    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    • Press the f10 key to open the BIOS setup window. (On newer computers, you need to hold down the "esc" key. Then you can opt to go into the BIOS settings.)

    • Use the right-arrow or left-arrow keys to navigate to the System Configuration option.
    • Use the up-arrow or down-arrow keys to navigate to the Action Keys Mode option, and then press the "enter" key to display the Enable / Disable menu.
    • Select the desired mode

    Disabling Touchpad in W-10

    Just upgraded to Microsoft 10 and now my once disabled touchpad is enabled again and can't figure out how to disabled it. Any suggestions?

    Found answer. On ASUS, knew that toggling FN F9 disables/enables TouchPad use, but was not working after upgrading to MS 10. Upgraded TouchPad driver and FN F9 now working again.

    Hi,

    Since the steps provided did not help, we'll try a different approach. We suggest resetting Sticky Notes first then proceed on doing the same steps on how to disable it on startup. Follow the steps provided below:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Apps.
    • Find Sticky Notes under Apps
      & features.
    • Select Advanced options.
    • Click Reset.

    Looking forward to your response.
