Function Key "Fn" Solved/Closed

Question

I installed a Logitech MX 700 wireless keyboard and mouse.
Since then, if I want to use the laptop's keyboard, I have to press the "Fn" key to access the normal keys on the keyboard. How can I disable "Fn"?
I have uninstalled all Logitech drivers, but nothing changes.
Help, help.

Thank you for your responses.

Hello,  I have a Toshiba laptop and on the F11 key, there's a small keyboard symbol that represents the numeric keypad. If I press Fn + F11, the numeric keypad is locked, it might be your issue.

Hello,

I had the same problem with my laptop.
I solved it by holding down the Fn key and pressing the key that has the two inscriptions "arr déf" and "ver num"

Hello,

I suppose that when you're working with the external keyboard, like me, you have the numbers on the numeric keypad? In other words, you have activated Num Lock with [Num Lock]?

If you have done that, then it's no surprise that the letter keys located farther to the right of your laptop's built-in keyboard have turned into number keys.
You simply need, if you want to use the laptop's built-in keyboard, to unlock the numeric mode by pressing the [Num Lock] key on your laptop's keyboard just once.
And then the numbers will turn back into letters.

And you do the opposite if you're using the external keyboard.

I hope this resolves your issue. It's a common problem on laptops when using an external keyboard. Unless, of course, the laptop is a 17'' or larger and has a numeric keypad. Personally, I can't do without it.

AsgardEagle.

Thanks for the tip, I also had this problem on a Futjitsu-Siemens laptop, with the [FN] key permanently activated. By just pressing [Num Lock], everything went back to normal! Phew!

To activate the numeric keypad on the Vaio, you need to click on Num LK/SCR LH; this will turn it off (the little light on the left (at the top right) should be off)  :)

And for MacBook users, I had blocked the fn keys, and I couldn't unlock them!!

I found this on another forum... I'm passing the info along

I'm quoting
"If you want to avoid pressing the fn key at the bottom left every time, you can also go to System Preferences/Mouse and Keyboard/Keyboard tab and check the box for using function keys F1-F12 to control software functions. Now you will need to press fn to adjust volume + or -"

For an Amilo Pro, you need to press F12 and Fn to activate the Wi-Fi, but be careful, it needs to be in sync with the PC; it activates whenever it wants. It's a company computer so that employees can't connect to the internet since they don't have the activation code.

Hello, I've had an HP PC since I bought it, and the function keys "fn" are always activated because to increase and decrease the brightness of my screen, I don't need to press the fn key... I've tried many things written above and on other sites, but nothing works! Thank you for helping me.
