    How do I toggle the function key lock on my USB keyboard? DESKTOP PC


    I just got an HP keyboard for my desktop and it's nice and all but I'm having issues when I use it where I have to hold the FN key down in order to use the F1-F12 key functions. I have been searching for a while now on how to fix it, even looking at other support pages on the Microsoft support site, yet all of them are relating to specific HP laptops, which I don't have. I'm using a desktop PC so none of them are working for me so I don't know what to do to toggle the FN key lock. Anyone know of any way to fix this?Note: I can't exactly specify what the actual keyboard model name is, as it do

    :)

      Toggle.
    • Select Hear a tone while pressing Caps lock, Num lock and Scroll lock.
    • Under Toggle keys, change the settings and check.

    If the issue still persists, Run troubleshooter from

    Caps lock, num lock, scroll lock lights no longer function


    Hello! Since the most recent build of W-10 (9879), my caps lock, num lock, and scroll lock lights do not function on either computer on which I have W-10 installed (a desktop with a USB keyboard and a laptop with an integrated keyboard). The keys still work to correctly toggle the functionality, but the keyboard lights don't work. In case it matters, my keyboard's actual backlights and my mouse's internal light (not the laser, the internal LED) are working correctly, it's just the CL, NL, and SL indicators that don't function.

    Anyone have any ideas for fixing this?
