Hello,
I have a problem with my keyboard; when I click on F5, the light turns on...
But I can only use this key for that and not for anything else.
Is there a way to disable the Pavilion function so that I can use the F5 key like any other keyboard? Thanks.
Keyboard: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 17-cd0xxx
For your information, I have already tried FN + F5.
Here is:
Hello,
Generally speaking, it doesn’t depend on the brand or model of the PC if it doesn’t have a likely "in-house" software allowing for key mapping, other than the fact that the function in question is activated.
You need to remap the key using an appropriate utility (SharpKeys, AutoHotKeys...).
Do a search for the terms "computer remap key" and its market depending on which one is more convenient to make function rather than the other.
Be careful, such a function may not be universal but software-dependent in that certain software can define its own key mappings (although more often for combinations).
Ultimately, all the F1, F2, F3....F12 keys are used for another task... How can I make them work like a normal keyboard again?
I told you.
A computer keyboard does not know how to read; it does not know if I am pressing the A key, which simply produces a specific code that is then read by the computer.
The same probably applies to some extent to the function keys, or at least to certain ones. It is absurd and probably impossible to reassign those that concern the startup and the BIOS, and I would be surprised if they do not do so (what is their behavior in that scenario?); the only hypothesis would be that they are temporarily reassigned, for example, when using a game or software that may have a menu for that purpose, but certainly not at startup.
Aside from this unwarranted reassignment by software, as I mentioned, you can change this assignment only through specific software that will "say" that now it is this key that calls this code and hence this action.
