    Hi all,

    I know there is a setting in the bios that controls this, but switching that setting to disabled or enabled doesn't change anything for me. No matter what I try, I have to press fn plus F keys to execute the action. This started happening last week, and I don't know what prompted it. Does anyone else have this problem? I would like to disable having to press fn to execute the action. thanks.

    Update: I actually accidentally fixed this when I was cleaning my keyboard by wiping it down. Somehow, I pressed the right shortcut to toggle off the "fn lock". I didn't even know this existed.... Does someone happen to know the keyboard shortcut to turn off the fn lock?
