Disable The Fn + Function Key or Action key in HP 630 laptops

Hi,
On most HP and laptops, it is necessary to press and hold the function key (fn) while pressing one of the f1 through f12 keys to activate the default functions
Default functions are of much use to developers while debugging applications in applications like visual studio, like debug(f5), step-in(f11), step-over(f10).

So for developers using HP 630 variant laptops have to press fn+function keys to do debug applications.

To circumvent this problem, one can disable the built-in fn configuration.

For that restart the laptop and before booting press f10 key few times so that BIOS menu is displayed

In BIOS, using arrow keys, select system configuration, there again action keys, using f5, change the mode to disabled, and press f10 to exit with saved changes.

After restart, you can test the function keys, and f9,f10 will not work as volume controls directly. So you can use those keys for debugging and application development in IDE environments.

To work as volume and media controls, use fn+function keys.
