  1. the fn key is stuck for some reason.


    i have a lenovo yoga and it used to be that i had to press the FN key for it to do F1 or F2 functions. but now the fn key is always active so when i press the mute button it opens other tabs and so on. holding FN and hitting Esc doesnt unlock it nor did hitting it at the same time as caplocks. and windows mobility center is missing the keyboard options. what do i do?

    :)

  2. FN key always on

    To clarify, I was saying "Accessibility" features maybe be controlled via the BIOS, not the Fn keys. And one of the Accessibility features makes the keys "sticky". This allows folks with some disabilities to press, for example, the Ctrl key, then the Alt key, and then Del in sequence instead of all at once. Same with the Fn key. The sticky feature would let you first press the Fn key, and then the F9 key (for example) and not Fn + F9 at the same time to enable/disable whatever Fn + F9 does with that notebook (it is the touchpad on my Toshiba).

    FN key always on

    Fn key got absolutely nothing to do with BIOS.

    It just requires some bizarre combination. One of this should do the trick:

    fn + scrl
    fn+ num
    fn + F11
    fn + F8

    Fn lock stuck on

    No matter what I do, fn lock is stuck on, I've pressed every single button on this stupid keyboard, holding every other button while doing it, and nothing, there's no shortcut listed and if I do the fn + esc it just open system information for whatever reason. I use a HP Pro x360 Fortis 11 inch G10 Notebook PC with Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise. There is no button labeled "fn lock", I've already tried restarting, I've looked in every setting menu but luckily there's not a single menu labeled "shortcuts" it just lets you turn on sticky keys or not.
