Windows 10: How do I get rid of this little "window" when pressing Fn+F1

Hi. Would you please help me how do I get rid of this little thing? It happens every time I want to manipulate with volume by pressing Fn and either F1,F2 or F3. It used to be only the volume indicator but now it's also the thing next to it and it often blocks my view. Thank you!

How to access F1-F12 keys without pressing FN key first?

Hi,

My name is Angel. I am an Independent Advisor. Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

You can disable or enable the Fn key functionality using the BIOS utility.

To disable or enable the function key (fn) in the BIOS follow the below steps:

• Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.

• Turn on the computer and immediately press the f10 key repeatedly, about once every second to open the BIOS setup window.

• Press the right-arrow or left-arrow keys to navigate to the System Configuration option.

• Press 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:

• Disabled: Requires pressing and holding the function key (fn) while pressing one of the f1 through f12 keys to use the action indicated on the action key.

• For example, on some computer models, if the Action Keys Mode is Disabled, pressing the f11 key will minimize and maximize a web browser if open. Alternatively, pressing and holding the fn + f11 keys will mute the sound.

• The action keys may vary depending on the model of notebook.

• Enabled: Requires pressing only one of the f1 through f12 keys to use the action as indicated on the action key.

• For example, on some computer models, if the Action Keys Mode is Enabled, pressing f11 will mute the sound as indicated on the action key. Alternatively, pressing and holding fn + f11 will minimize and maximize a web browser if open.

• The action keys may vary depending on the model of notebook.

• Press the f10 key to save the selection and restart the computer.

The function key (fn) option can be reset at any time.

Hope the information provided is useful. If the issue persists, reply here and we will be glad to help you.

Angel.

 

How To Disable Fn key for F1-F12?

Just press the Fn key... when the LED on the key is on, function keys work as F1...F12; when it is off, the keys work as media keys...

when holding Fn key while pressing any function key, the key does the opposite to the action it would do without the Fn key pressed
