I have an hp pavilion running Windows 10 64 bit. The F1 has an interrogation mark on it and if clicked, it opens a new Bing search tab.
I want to change what the button does, I don't want to disable it completely, because I might need it, it's just that every once in a while I click it by mistake and it's so annoying.
I don't want to have to use fn either. All I want to do is change what f1 does.
Answer
Your best choice may be to utilize AutoHotkey:
AutoHotkey (AHK) is a free, open-source macro-creation and automation software for Windows that allows users to automate repetitive tasks. It is driven by a scripting language that was initially aimed at providing keyboard shortcuts, otherwise known as hotkeys, that over time evolved into a full-fledged scripting language. And if you're really interested, here's a great video about it here.
You can use AutoHotkey to:
Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write a mouse or keyboard macro by hand or a macro recorder.
Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard, joystick, and mouse.
Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Essentially any key, button or combination can become a hotkey.
Expand abbreviations as you type them. For example, typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way".
Retrieve and change the clipboard's contents.
Convert any AHK script into an executable file that can be run on computers where AutoHotkey is not installed.
