Activate Fn lock permanently

andreas35 — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 14:39:19 GMT

Hello,

I would like to permanently activate the Fn lock. Right now, I activate it with Fn + F12 but it desactivates itself at each restart. I saw that it can be done by the BIOS or with Windows settings with some models but I couldn't find it for my Samsung Galaxy Book.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you ! Unfortunately, step 1 doesnt work and I'm not comfortable enough to do steps 2 to 4 on my computer 🙂

Registry is tricky so best not to mess with

Hello @andreas35! Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, without doing any of the previous user's methods and there's no option in the mobility center, there would not be a way to enable the FN key permanently. The only way would be to enable it after pressing the FN + F12 after every restart. There may be some third party software that can do this but I unfortunately can not recommend using that.
