ERK-321 model keyboard Fn key has

How do I turn off the Fn key on a HP ENVY all-in-One p - 011 on/lock?

Yes, I realized this is pretty accurate, but I searched all day, I just want to use my F1 - F12 keys without having to hit every time Fn.

Note: this keyboard doesn't have an option to turn it off by holding Fn and pressing ESC.

@Mister_K

Welcome to the HP Forums, it's a great place to get help, find answers and advice,
Thanks for posting your request, I'll be more than happy to help you

If I understand the functionality of the model keyboard Fn key ERK-321 has needs to be changed and you want to use it without using the Fn key each time.

To inform you, the Fn button can be disabled but then the brightness, volume control, etc. would be nonfunctional once disabled as function without the Fn keys are just used for normal functions as its listed here.

If you still want to turn off the Fn key features, here is the step by step guide for you:

Click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. in the run, window next to open it, type MSCONFIG.
3. press the ENTER key.
4. in the System Configuration Utility window, click the Startup tab.
5. on the Startup tab, in the title of the startup item, be sure that the HKserv checkbox is not checked.

NOTE: If HKserv is missing, reinstall the utility application Hot - Key by clicking here

For windows 10 drivers: click here & then follow the steps above.

  • My product key has been blocked... why?

    Yesterday, I installed Windows 7 (32 bit) in a Machine virtual VirtualBox; but the machine has got corrupted. so I reinstall Windows 7 again, today. I couldn't enter my product key, so I did the "slmgr.vbs-ipk PRODUCT KEY' then"slmgr /ato"(without the quotes) and moments later a message came up saying that"the activation server determined that the specified product key has been blocked."

    This is a legal copy of Windows 7 purchased at Christmas 2009. (which pisses me because I don't not pirate it.)

    That's why I love Apple; NO product key of worry. (But I need Windows 7 for Win programs only.)

    I see a lawsuit resulting from this problem by conducting a LEGAL copy of same.

    Try again by phone:

    Activate Windows 7 manually:
    1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

    2. press enter on your keyboard

    3. Select your country.
    4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

  • Windows 7 does not have the activation key - has WORKED in THE PAST

    A year or two ago, I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows 7. I bought Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade online. The activation key worked exactly as it is supposed to. A few months back, I had a hard drive crash. I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Vista then install Windows 7. Once more, everything works great. Key agreed without any problem. Then about a week and a half, I did an upgrade to my computer. New motherboard, CPU and power supply. I installed Vista on another hard disk, loaded the drivers of the new motherboard and CPU, then installed Windows 7. The activation key has been accepted (the same I use all along) and had no problems until tonight. I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, start and I get a window saying that my version of Windows is not registered and enter the activation key. This time IT would BE NPOT ACCEPT THE KEY what is CAME WITH MY INSTALLER DISK. 3 TIMES. What gives? # ! ? The dey was good a week ago and now it isn't? What has changed while I was out of town and my computer was closed. This looks like a problem with Microsovt and Windows 7. How to get Windows 7 activated as if it was 4 days ago?

    Have you tried to restart by phone?

    Thank you

    OK, I was kind of what went wrong here.

    The snap has been loaded from a powershell module. When the module is removed and added again, the snap ceases to function, but also can not be added again.

    If the snap is loaded first outside the module everything works fine until you try never to remove or add snap-in module.

  • PowerCLI - an element with the same key has already been added ERROR

    Hello

    I opened a case with VMware on a problem using PowerCLI. And pretty well, they said that they do not support scripts... But the error is not related to any script. It is related to the first command I run against one of our Vcenter and we have 6 of them.

    Everything worked well until we went from 4.1 to 5.1

    I can connect to our VCenter fine, but the first command always give an error and fail to the powercli but the task still occur in vCenter.

    When it gets ugly, is we have several powershell script to maintain and automate our environment but now these script fail.

    Example, we have a script to deploy the VM model and then configure the appropriate hardware configuration and add Notes and custom attributes. But the script fails after that deployment so the rest will not run. It will be possible that deploy us to the first virtual machine.

    So for 'Band-aid' question, I added a line to my script to start a virtual dummy machine, to make sure that what is in the script will work fine.

    Error:

    PowerCLI C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI > start-vm vm - Server-m46

    Start-VM: 2013/06/26 11:57:05 Start-VM an element with the same key has already been added.

    As far as I know, done to the PowerCLI VMware supports.

    I don't think they support the client script debugging, but the product PowerCLI itself is supported.

    I created a few calls myself in the past.

    What you see is a known problem, there are a few discussions in this community who has something similar.

  • First New - VM: an element with the same key has already been added.


    I get a strange error that I have seen a few other posts, but with no resolution (or at least one that I can find).  When you try to create a new virtual machine using the cmdlet New - VM, I get the error "an item with the same key has already been added."

    Now, here's the key that I've not seen many others to mention.  This ONLY happens on the first attempt for each new connection with Connect-VIServer.  I can create as many of the same machines that I want after that first mistake with the same settings (new name of course).  If I disconnect and reconnect again, the error appears for the first time.

    Normally with PowerShell, I have just to catch the error and be on my way.  However, in this case I use the parameter - RunAsync, so that I can capture the task that is returned in a variable.  From there, I use Wait-task until the virtual machine is complete before moving on with the script.  Everything works fine when the error occurs, but when it happens that the object of the task is not returned and the rest of her vomit script errors.

    I am running the latest version of PowerCLI and I tried this on PowerShell v2.0 and v3.0 and get the same results.  I tried different models and guests without success.  I also tried this with and without assistance - AllLinked on Connect-VIServer-bound mode.  I should mention that I am cloning model, by specifying a spec customization and host cluster data store.  Again, the only common denominator repeatable here is that this ONLY happens on the first attempt to use New - VM session to vCenter.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • How to open encrypted, if the key has been lost in XP?

    I reinstall my Windows xp, but I can not open my encrypted data. My encrypt key has been lost

    There is no backdoor to EFS encryption.  This is why it is so important to backup your encryption certificates when using EFS.  Refer to the following article, paying special attention to the paragraph "why you should back up your certificates"

    "Best Practices for encrypting file system"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

    That said, if some important remains of your old system must still exist on your hard drive and have not been crushed in your new installation, there are a few programs that widening this information and try to rebuild your key.  Such a program is AEFSDR, but, frankly, it's a long shot at this point.
