i have a lenovo yoga and it used to be that i had to press the FN key for it to do F1 or F2 functions. but now the fn key is always active so when i press the mute button it opens other tabs and so on. holding FN and hitting Esc doesnt unlock it nor did hitting it at the same time as caplocks. and windows mobility center is missing the keyboard options. what do i do?

    Hello, I am Meer and I am happy to help you. The problem you are having is probably the device itself. Have you pressed the fn key too hard? It might not look like you have it stuck outside, but it can be stuck inside. Try taking the fn key off. See if the component is damaged. If it is, you will need to replace it.

    The problem can also be shortcut key. You might have accidentally pressed a shortcut that changed the hotkeys.

    I am not sure if you have Windows 10 or Windows 11, so if I don't know the OS, I cannot help you with the settings.

    Hello, this is Emily.

    The Fn key lock is not a Windows feature, but a manufacturer feature, so every brand and even different models can follow different methods to disable/enable it.

    Most Lenovo models if I remember correctly can be adjusted via the Vantage app. Look in there. Otherwise you can go into BIOS, and it might be under configuration > Hot key, disable it.
