    How can I get a function key lock for my pc?


    I can't seem to find a straight answer to this, so I guess I'll ask.

    My keyboard has the volume and some other keys on the function keys, but the default use is the function keys. Is there a way to make it so I can lock the function key so I don't have to hit function to adjust the volume? Also, I can't use something that's like a permanent change because I still need the function keys a lot of the time.

    Rotation lock key is not functioning

    Since the Rotation lock is still grayed out, our next step is to uninstall/Update your display driver. To uninstall your your drivers, you can do the following:

    • Press the Windows and X key on your keyboard and click on
      Device Manager      .
    • On the Device Manager window, click on the Display adapter drop-down.
    • Right-click the driver and choose uninstall.
    • Restart your computer.

    If it is the same, update the said driver by following these steps:

    • Go Back to the Display adapter drop down in Device Manager.
    • Locate your display adapter driver, right-click and choose
      Update Driver Software      .

    We would also suggest that you go to your device manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for your device.

    For further queries, feel free to post back.

    How can I get a function key lock for my pc?

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
