    Why won't my PC boot up normally unless I hold down fn +f11


    I have this issue with my HP computer that during startup it goes straight into recovery mode or boots into advanced recovery options . The only way that it will start up properly is if I hit the fn key and F11 keys together before turning it on. I have tried reinstalling windows and using startup repair but those only make the issue worst by giving blue screen of death or sometimes BCD errors or other critical errors . I have tried everything I know or read about to rectify this issue but nothing has worked so far. Any help?

    :)

    fn+f11

    So I recently restarted my pc. Before restarting it, F11 did full screen on it's own. But now for some reason, it only works when I press fn+f11

    Is there a fix for this

    Neither F11 nor fn+F11 gives me full screen

    Hi Odin99,

    I am an independent advisor and a Microsoft user like you, and I would be happy to help you out with this.

    Could you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, and then see if F11 works here?

    You can do this by going to

    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

    If F11 or Fn+F11 works here, it may be possible that an add-on is interfering with the F11 keystroke.

    Please let us know!

    I hope this has helped you. If this is not what you are looking for, please reply and let us know and we would be happy to look into providing some different suggestions!

    Regards,

    -Ashton

    F11 does not work

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand the difficulties you are facing with the F11 key not working as it should be. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.



    • What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type
      winver in Windows search/Run command)
    • What is the make and model of the PC?
    • Did you try F11 along with FN key on the keyboard?
    • Was there a major change or an update on your system, prior to which you weren't facing this issue?
    • Are you trying to use F11 for full screen function or any other function?


    However, we would suggest you to perform these steps.



    Uninstall and Reinstall the drivers.

    1. Press Windows + X, select
      Device Manager      .
    2. Expand Keyboard device.
    3. Right click on all the listed devices, then select
      Uninstall device.
    4. Check the box beside Delete the driver software for this device.
    5. Click Ok and restart the PC.
    6. Then check you still have the issue.


    We await your response.
