For me this cannot be a hardware issue as the keys are properly working, just not delivering the Action mode.
#Xkeys caret symbol not working update
Even the BIOS setting made no difference.Ĭontacting HP support, they suggested to try the same which I have already done, and also, they remotely installed one update: sp79048.Īs the update did not make any difference, HP's suggestion was to do a factory restore to "isolate" the problem whether it is hardware related or not. Made a system restore to the earliest available restore point some 3 weeks ago.

HP drivers update via HP Support Assistant,Įnabled/disabled the Action Key Mode in the BIOS, I could not associate the error with any particular update as I was not sure how far back the problem occured.īy the way, this is an Envy 13-d004na, still under warranty.īefore contacting HP support I tried the following: However, F1-F12 keys did function whether I pressed the FN key or not. My hardware function keys like brightness up/down, keyboard back lit, speaker off, volume up/down, playback controls and flight mode stopped working. The function key (fn) option can be reset at any time by going back into the BIOS. Press f10 key to save the selection and restart the computer. The action keys may vary depending on the model of notebook.
Alternatively, pressing fn + f11 will minimize and maximize a web browser if open. (The action keys may vary depending on the model of notebook.)Įnabled : Requires pressing only f1 through f12 to use the action as indicated on the action keys.įor example, if Enabled , pressing f11 only will mute the sound as indicated on the key on this model PC. Alternatively, pressing f11 only will minimize and maximize a web browser if open. For exmple, if Disabled , pressing fn + f11 will mute the sound as indicated on the key on this model PC. Now, in order to use them, you need to hold down the "fn" button to activate the shortcut feature. Use 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.ĭisabled: You still have the ability to use all those neat shortcut features like ejecting discs, toggling the WiFi and so on with the f1 through f12 keys. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow keys to navigate to the System Configuration option. Then you can opt to go into the BIOS settings.) (On newer computers, you need to hold down the "esc" key. Press the f10 key to open the BIOS setup window. Press the power button to turn on the computer. To disable, or enable, the function key (fn) in the BIOS, do the following steps.
In fact, you can reverse the process and make it so that you need to hit the "fn" key to adjust screen brightness and so on. On the HP Envy notebooks and other notebooks with advanced BIOS options, the function keys can be configured so that it is not necessary to press and hold the fn key. It is necessary to press and hold the function key (fn) while pressing one of the f1 through f12 keys to activate the default functions such as, increasing or decreasing the brightness of the display, the sound volume, sleep, keyboard lock, etc. I appreciate the steps you have performed and have certainly done a good job. I read that you have an HP Pavillion 17 laptop and the brightness and the volume keys do not work. I came across you post and would like to help. Would like to take a moment to thank you for posting on the HP Support Forums.
