How to access F1-F12 keys without pressing FN key first?

Hello,

I've just bought a new laptop (ASUS ZenBook 3 UX490U) and I've had some trouble trying to access F1-F12 function keys without pressing FN key first.

I've already tried to press FN + ESC but it didn't work. I also tried to enable it with the Mobility Center but it didn't work either. And I've also tried to enter the BIOS but it doesn't seem like I could change anything from there.

Does anyone have a solution?

Many thanks,

Vittorio

    I've tried to enter the BIOS by holding down power button for 5 secs at least and then immediately pressing F10 repeatedly (every second), but then I don't enter the BIOS but I've got a blue screen saying "Recovery" 

    What should I do next?

    Go to Advance mode and there should be a function keys section. Locate option depends on the brand of your device in this case ASUS. In case you do not find it try to contact the specialized support of ASUS and ask about this function.

    Also try Fn + insert (so fn-key + tap on insert-key) to stop the keys being reversed.
