What are the settings for the Dell FN key

Problems to be solved.

Dell laptops have the FN key on the bottom left of the keyboard, and we take the refresh function of the F5 key as an example. Under the default settings, when you want to use the function key above the keyboard, such as f5 refresh, you need to press the fn+f5 key combination; And when you want to enhance the screen brightness function (the "sun + up arrow" pattern is drawn on the F5 key of my Dell laptop), you don't need to press the FN key, just press F5.

Due to the inconsistency in the use of the function keys on ordinary keyboards, many friends are not accustomed to this setting. Let's talk about how to swap this setting around. (That is, when you press the F5 key, it will be refreshing, and when you press the Fn+F5 key, you will turn up the brightness).

Unreliable methods on the web.

First of all, I want to explain: the method of regedit of the registry on the Internet is unreliable. Including knowing that I did it in my official identity as dell, I haven't tried whether this way will work, but the author has checked a lot of information on the Internet and summarized a simpler way:

Use the Dell QuickSet driver and launch it via Win+X.

In addition, if you have a good level of English and a certain computer foundation, you can set it up in the BIOS by yourself. This is the easiest way to do it, and it works.

The right and easy way to fix it.

This method only works on Dell laptops.

My laptop came back with QuickSet installed, and you can check if it's installed by pressing the "Windows key + X" key combination. If you don't have it on your computer, you usually have a quickset installer on the driver installation CD that came with your purchase. If you really can't find it, you can use the official **on** (please pay attention to whether it is the latest version):

The experience reviewer didn't let me add the URL link, forcing you to find it on Dell's official website).

After installing QuickSet, press the "Windows key + X" key combination, and the following window will appear (the Windows key is the key with the Microsoft logo at the bottom left of the keyboard):

See? The default setting of the fn function key row at the bottom is "multi-key" (that is, press fn+f5 when refreshing). Click the drop-down menu to change to "Function Keys".

Then you don't need to click any buttons such as "Save" and "Confirm", just click on the upper right corner to close the window.

If you want to change back to the original settings, you can change it back in a similar way.

The steps are as follows: First, open your computer's settings.

Find the control panel below.

Find Hardware & Sound under Adjust your favorite mobile device.

Open Windows Mobile Center, directly press the leftmost of the three keys in the upper right corner of the keyboard, find the fn function key row below the pop-up window, select the function key or multi** key or right-click the battery icon in the taskbar, there is also Windows Mobile Center.
