How to prevent Win 10 action with Hotkeys

General questions about using Fund Manager that do not fit into any other forum.

Hi Mark,
I wonder if you can help to prevent Win 10 going to the Microsoft web site help if any Func key or menu item that is on a Func key shortcut.

If one chooses Contents or even Keyboard under the Help menu then the Microsoft web site help opens. If one is not connected to the internet you get the network error page. This happens in other software as well as most software have F1=Help.

Hi fundman247,

If you press F1 from within Fund Manager what happens? It should open the local help file for Fund Manager.
Thanks,
Mark

It goes to Microsoft help web page and does not open the help file within FM.

Hi fundman247,

I'm not sure. It doesn't do that for me under Window 10. Maybe you have some other program intercepting the shortcut keys?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,

The topic you've found is this one? https://www.howtogeek.com/235351/how-to ... cial-keys/
It's well explained. You can toogle between function keys and special keys with the Fn key or Esc+Fn keys. Your keyboard is probably in the special keys state currently, and not in the function keys state.
