HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC: HP Envy 15 action keys works do not (F9, F10 and F11)

Similar Questions

• H Envy 17: HP Envy 17: F9, F10 and F11 keys stop working

  Hit f9 - f11 keys on my keyboard control my music.

  • F9 = previous track
  • F10 = play/pause
  • F11 = next track

  It worked well upward until a few days ago. Now, they don't work at all. I also tried combining them with the fn key, but do not work yet.

  I'd really like to help, try to understand it. I use these keys frequently, and it's starting to really annoy me.

  I don't know what information is necessary, but here's what I found:

  Product name: HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC
  Product number: G0U21AV
  BIOS: F.34-12/19/2014
  Keyboard review: 77.35
  Total memory: 12.00 GB
  Name of the processor: Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50 GHz

  I tried your first proposal and did not get anywhere. However, I played around a little more with different combinations of keys, and I found a combination that works! For anyone else having this same problem, try pressing the following key combinations:

  FN + alt + f9

  FN + alt + f10

  FN + alt + f11

  Thanks for your help!

• Control keys works do not, Win8 to Win7 downgrade. HP envy j011dx

  I have a HP Envy j011dx provided with Edition (64b9t) to the home page of Windows 8. I put in an SSD and improved RAM and installed Win 7 Pro(64bit). Everything is working great except control keys do not work.  When I hit the left ctrl key, I get [9 - and CTRL right, I get, l;]
  I have searched and tried a few different drivers looked at messages on the demotion to 7 and have not seen anything on this issue. I ran all the updates of windows and tried several different drivers. I put the old HD with W8, and it works if it is not a hardware problem. I looked at the origin of this post before doing the downgrade and it gave me the confidence to move forward with implementing Win7 on. I have until Friday to take this back to the store if I can't make it work. Any help would be appreciated. I also checked the region/language settings.

  I discovered what it was! Hallelujah! Good so I uninstalled and reinstalled Win7 Pro like 8 times. The driver IDT High - Definition (HD) is that he was causing.

  Finally, I noticed that when I hit the left CTRL mute volume was turn. Then when I hit the button Mute ctrl will work correctly. Mute on this subject would not work. Mute off it would work. I unsintalld the driver and re-installed several times to ensure that it is definitley the origin of the problem. Keys mute and volume were workign regardless if the driver has been installed. I was making reference to article http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Downgrade-HP-ENVY-15-j011dx-to-windows-7-need-help-finding/td-p/3768928 to get the rest of the drivers. WEIRD question but it is the IDT Audio, 1.0.6491.0 Version 6.10.6491 Rev: A SoftPaqNumber: SP4958 that was originally there. It's SP4958.exe. Whooo! It was a guy. I'm so happy that I found it. I like really a few Windows 7. Not looking navigation on Windows 8 and 8.1 at all!

• HP Envy 13-d008na: slash reverse/Pipe key works is not on the keyboard

  Hi all

  Have a new laptop 'Renew '. The key backslash on the laptop keyboard is unresponsive. Searching online, I suspect a BIOS update may be necessary, but this has been reported for other laptops HP, not this specific model, so may be barking the wrong tree!

  Product number is P0R94EA

  Thank you

  Tim

  Well no earlier than 10 minutes after I posted this article, I found an acceptable workaround solution. I downloaded SharpKeys, which enabled me to map the backslash with a backslash key. The results were then written in the registry and hey presto - a touch of bar backslash work. Job is a good use as they say

• HP ENVY laptop: HP ENVY - function default key help

  Model:

  HP ENVY m7-k010dx Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)

  Problem:

  I just want to know how I can change the operation of the function keys without having to go into the BIOS, because I don't know the administrative BIOS password. Currently, they work as multimedia keys by default, and if I want to use the function keys, I hit 'fn' every time just to use a function key. Is there a way to make the function keys worked mainly as function keys without having to press "fn" all the time?

• HP Envy M6: My HARD drive is not bad on my computer? I have reloaded Win 8 and upgraded to Win 8.1 but he keeps crashing

  Hi need help and answers from an expert!

  My HP Envy M6 Recenly has stopped working correctly, so I decided to recover as soon as possible.  She still had the same problems, so I decided to restore factory with recovery USB flash drive I did.  Always had the same problem happens after I rebooted 8 Win and improved to 8.1.  It would work for a few minutes and stop working I used chkdsk and it says it fixed a few problems with the drive.

  I went through the same steps another 3 times!  After each time that once I had that he would be running again after a clean reinstall.  I would like to run chkdsk and it looks like he fixed some error, but last time, it wouldn't or couldn't find some files to run and crashed.  I tried loading Acronis and tried to reinstall the backup from there but that also failed to correct the problem.  I came to the conclusion that my HD is physically wrong?

  I guess the recovery process would reformat the partitions before you reinstall so it's not a logic error (software)?  From the recovery partition, the recovery Flash disk media and recovery software acronis can fix this, I can only assume, there is a problem with the drive itself?

  Is there a way to check this?  I don't mind replacing the drive to a SSD, so this isn't a problem, but I can't seem to find a product key.  Nothing printed on the bottom.  I read somewhere that it is now integrated with the motherboard bios so can I just use the recovery media that I did on a flash drive?

  Also, I have my backup file but I could never find the location of the image my wife loaded as the photo of "lock" screen which I do not have a copy of.  I have the backup files for windows 8.1 by Acronis and according to me, a Windows backup file on a backup drive, but I was wondering if these "locked screen hidden image" would be held somewhere in these data?  It is not under the images and I have never been able to find or understand where windows keeps this image.  I used the search without success.

  Of course, this is not critical, but I hate losing this particular image.  I hope it's keep somewhere in my back upward and when restoring with a new drive hard I can reload the backup and restore.

  So I really ned knowledge step by step: my HD is bad?  How can I check without having to spend hours to reload only to fail?

  Why chkdisk does not?  Or should I simply replace HD and if so what can I use the new disk recovery media and product ID will be accessible through the motherboard?

  I intend to upgrade to win 10, but I need Win 8 loading first, then move to 8.1 then move to Win 10?  Also in the future if it crashes how can I recover to win 10? Since it is free now but will not be later.  The upgrade will allow me to make a copy (a copy) to win 10?

  A lot of questions, but please provide the fastest solution to my problems and concerns.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello fmhawaii ;
  
  I read your post on your PC crashing and wanted to help.

  It certainly seems that your hard drive has failed.  Some PC allows the drive to check in the BIOS: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

  If that confirms that the disc is bad, then you will need to replace it.

  As for activation, you are right in that, with Win8x machines, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware, however, the instructions in this link, show you how to recover: find product - key for Windows 8

  When you restore from recovery media, which is supposed to automatically read product key, so you will not have to enter something to activate reinstall it.  My guess is that the drive problems that prevented from happening.

  Acronis allows you to mount an image file by using a drive letter, and once you do this, you should then be able to browse through the content to find the file you want.  However, depending on what part of the logon icon changed, it might be embedded image in a Windows system file, and unless there is a separate copy of this image, it will be very difficult to recover.  IF you Google it, you might be able to find downloadable tools for disassembly of this file and subseuent extraction of this file.

  I wouldn't hurry to Win10, but if you choose to follow this path, don't forget to make a new advance Acronis backup, then you can return to a system of Win8x of work if something is wrong - as the Win10 GoBack function is known to be unreliable.
  
  Good luck

• HP Envy 23: HDMI in button does not work in Windows 10

  After the upgrade to Windows 10, the button used to display HDMI no longer works on my HP Envy 23

  I had this same problem, except on the 27xt, which is the version 27 "the envy of HP TouchSmart. It is same as the 23 '' only bigger. I called HP who told me to call Microsoft, which, after an hour of Remote Desktop new installation graphic drivers and who does not, told me to call HP.
  
  So, I googled the problem and found this thread on this forum and I am so glad that I did. Hpuser30 is quite right, except that I found a method even easier for fixing.
  
  I went to my local BestBuy store which sells version 23 "and I plugged a flash drive, I brought home, in the USB 3.0 port on the side of the screen. Then I went on the c:\ drive and found their SWSETUP folder, and I "copied" the entire folder on my flash drive. Their machine works perfectly in Windows 10, so I felt confident that this could work. I went home and opened the SWSETUP folder on my computer and I tried MyHPDisplayOSD and I found the folder named the same thing. Inside this folder is a file called HP_My_Display_2.08.020_Setup.exe.
  
  I tried to launch the file but it said I couldn't, because I already had a newer version. That was the problem in the first place. Microsoft or HP had updated the driver to one that is no longer recognize the HDMI port or button.
  
  And I went to control panel configuration then programs and I uninstalled my HP device, requiring a reboot. Then I installed the Setup file on the Flash drive, I got the computer to BeatBuy. I didn't even have to reboot. I just pressed the button HDMI IN and it worked perfectly, the way it is supposed to.
  
  The version store is 23 "and mine is a 27". The store had 10 Windows Home and I have Windows 10 Pro, but the HP_My_Display_2.08.020_Setup.exe works on both.
  
  So, it isn't the graphics driver and is not the button or port, is this HP My Display driver. The solution is really as simple as that. Now, I have to see if Microsoft or HP update again and it mess... Once again. If they do, at least I know how to fix it.

• HP Envy 5660: KP want 5660 will not print envelopes

  I just started to try orint envelopes, but my printer HP Envy 5660 of four months will not be printed #10 or other envelopes.   Machine prints letter size and scans OK but no joy with envelopes.  The value wraps #10 and the loaded paper envelopes.  printer starts to take the envelope then freezes with a "thud" sound and displays the following error message:

  Paper size difference «»

  Detected by the printer paper size does not match the selected paper size. »

  I re-downloaded and installed the latest version of the HP 5660 software, still no joy, as above.

  Very frustrating!   Should I have a defective printer?

  I thought about it!  HP will be happy to lnow that the problem was not with the printer HP 5660.  It is with my need to learn how to configure Word 2003 to print envelopes with this printer.  After several visits to help offline in Word 2003 is included on my machine, I have found how non-intuitive to envelopes that run with the 5660.  It evolves your envelope and the graphics setting in tools/Word/letters and direct mail/envelopes and labels/add to the document and then saving them as a Word (.doc) document.  Then, to get the envelope to print, load the envelopes into the printer, then press file/print and then (totally intuitive) configured to print the "current page" or page # 0.  For successive envelopes, you edit the address if necessary in the Word document and then file / print... again.   It seems to work like a charm!
