Pressing f11 does not enable/disable fullscreen even while pressing fn and entering and exiting fn lock

Fullscreen not working when pressing f11

Hello there,

I'm experiencing a problem on my new laptop that when I press f11 on google, the fullscreen shortcut won't work and instead, it uses page up (pgup).

I can't find anywhere on the settings where to enable/disable the hotkey. Any ideas?

 

Re-Enable F11

Lynn-MSFT is misinformed about the ability to either enable or disable the F11 fullscreen key. Mine is somehow disabled and I want it to work again. I DO NOT have an Fn key, so any remedy suggesting its use is ignorant, at best. Running a system file scan would not fix or find the issue, so suggesting that is moronic. I need an answer on how to make it work again.

 

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

Hi,

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.
