The F1 to F12 keys of laptops are usually function keys, which can be used to perform specific operations or shortcut keys. If you cannot use these keys, there may be several reasons:

1. Keyboard settings: Some laptops may set the function keys to enable special functions by default (such as adjusting brightness, volume, etc.), rather than as standard F1 to F12 keys. You can try to activate their standard functions by holding down the "Fn" (function) key and simultaneously pressing the desired F1 to F12 keys.

2. Driver problems: In some cases, incorrect or outdated drivers may cause some or all function keys to fail to work properly. You can fix the problem by updating or reinstalling the appropriate device driver.

3. Software conflict: Some software may occupy and redefine specific function keys, in which case other applications will not be able to use them. You can try to close the relevant software or change its settings to solve the problem.

4. Hardware failure: The last possibility is that some or all function keys fail due to hardware failure. If the above methods are invalid, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer for maintenance and inspection.

In conclusion, please eliminate the above reasons step by step according to the specific situation, and take corresponding measures to solve the problem that F1 to F12 keys cannot be used. If the problem still exists, it is recommended to consult professional technical support personnel for help.

First, we turn on the computer and find the location of f1 to f12 on the keyboard. The first method is to find the [fn] key on the computer, press and hold the [fn] key, and then press any of f1 to f12 as required to enable it. The second method is to press and hold [fn] and [esc], which is equivalent to turning the secondary keyboard into the main keyboard. Then press f1 to f12 directly to enable the functions indicated. This answer applies to most computer models of HP ZHAN99ProG2MT and other brands.

There is a red Fn on the last line of your computer keyboard. You need to press Fn and the corresponding key above at the same time to use F1 to F12

Some laptops need to press the FN key or install the corresponding function driver.

Because f1-f12 is set as a shortcut function key, you can cancel it. The specific cancellation method is as follows:
1. Find the function key lock key indicated by the arrow on the computer keyboard.

2. Then, find the Fn function key indicated by the arrow on the computer keyboard.

3. Then press and hold Fn, then press and hold the shortcut function lock key, unlock the shortcut function key, and you can resume the normal use of f1-f12 key.
