Usually, notebooks have a key combination to lock the function keys, maybe for Samsung it's the same as for Lenovo: CTRL and Esc.

Thanks a lot, that did it. &nbsp;I hit the FnLock key and it no longer requires both keys.

Hi, my laptop requires that I use the function key in combination with either F6, F7, or F8 to control my volume on Windows 10. &nbsp;My other laptop doesn't require the use of the function key. &nbsp;This is a Samsung Notebook Model BR8GSMT. &nbsp;Is there a way to avoid the use of the function key? &nbsp;Thanks

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
