How do I lock my f function keys on my keyboard without “fn lock” button?

Anonymous

Hello,

I just purchased a Onn wireless keyboard from Walmart. My issue is I’m trying to lock my f functions keys, but there is no “fn lock” button on this particular keyboard only “fn” button. Can someone advise me of a workaround for this issue?

Thanks in Advance!

Thank you for your suggestion, if you have the fn key you can use fn+ esc to lock it.

Hello! My name is Mustafa, and I am an Independent Advisor as well as a long-time Microsoft user. I am hopeful that I will be able to help you find a satisfactory solution.

If your external keyboard doesn't have an fn button then it means that you can't lock or change the fn row. Your keyboard comes with 1 set of commands if it doesn't have an fn key.

Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this, since your keyboard doesn't come with the other options of the fn key. So you can either change the keyboard or if your laptop has the fn function use the keyboard of your laptop.

Please let me know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

Warm Regards,

Mustafa
