    How to change Function/Action keys default?


    Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer has developed a little glitch where every time I turn it on it switches the function keys to default, instead of the special action keys. I've tried switching it in settings but it does nothing. I've tried switching it in the Bios menu. Also nothing. I hate having to press the [Fn] key every time I want to pause a song or change the volume or the screen brightness, but the system seems determined to force me to do so. Can anyone help?

    Windows 10
    Toshiba Satellite C55-A

    How to change use of function keys in HP Laptop's?

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description of the issue, I understand that you want to change the default settings for Function Keys.

    Please be informed that the function keys' settings depend on PC maker's utility. You may refer to the PC provider's manual for more information.

    Hope the above information was helpful.

    Thank You

    How to change use of function keys in HP Laptop's?

    Hi,

    I use HP Probook, model no. hp15-ac052tx. After purchasing it, I realise to work on excel and use regular functions of F1, F2 and other keys, I have to press Fn+F1, Fn+F2 and so on. This not only reduces my working speed but it is also a lot irritating.

    I am seeking help if any one knows how to change the Fn keys to use regular options of F1, F2, etc. without the Fn key and special features such as increase/decrease in volume, brightness, etc. with the Fn key.

    Regards,

    Kush
