    Has to be the shittiest keybind Microsoft has ever added to be honest. I’m in the middle of a game, trying to select my weapon, accidentally press F1 instead of 1 and bam; my computer turns off. This is just so Incredibly tedious at this point.

    Volume connected with f1- can't get it to work

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, we would like to know the details requested below:



    • When you say, “the volume wont work its connected to the f1 key” are you not able to get sound on your computer?
    • Which update was installed on the computer? To check go to
      Start >> Settings >> Update & Security >> Windows Update >> View update history.
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type: winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.
    • What is the make and model of the computer?


    Ideally, the F1 key is used as the help key in most of the programs. It opens a help screen when the F1 key is pressed.



    Meanwhile, you may want to try the steps mentioned below:



    If you are trying to use the F1 key to control volume on the computer, you may want to press
    Fn key + F1 and see if that helps.



    However, if you do not get sound on your computer, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

    Fix sound problems in Windows 10
    .



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

  3. How to make your computer come on automatically.

    Here are a few options. They depend on your BIOS providing the required functionality:

    • Use a different computer on the same wired network to send a signal to your PC. It's called "Wake-on LAN".
    • Configure your BIOS to turn the PC on at the required time.
    • Use an electric switching clock to apply power to your PC at 8am. Set the BIOS to start the PC when power is applied.
    To get into the BIOS, do this:

    • Turn the machine off
    • Turn it on.
    • Wait until the spinning circle appears, then turn the computer off.
    • Repeat steps 2 and 3 two more times.
    You can now select the preferred boot option or press whatever key is needed to get into the BIOS screen. It is often F12, F1 or F2. Some machines, e.g. Microsoft Surface netbooks, use different methods. You need to read the manual.

    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...
