Fall back on the trusted F1 key

The F1 key has been the primary help key in all the previous versions of Windows. Things are not too different in Windows 10 too and F1 key is the preferred method here too. However, in other apps, F1 button lands the user on the Help section; while in Windows 10, F1 button takes a user to the Bing search engine on the default browser. The user then gets to see “get help in windows 10” page. In devices where the F1 key is not activated, users need to activate the F1 key by holding down the start button while pressing the F1 key simultaneously. Once the F1 key is activated, the user is good to go. In some rare cases, the Function lock needs to be disabled by pressing the Fn Lock button.

To do this, users need to press the start button and keep scrolling till he reaches the Contact support/Get Help icon. Clicking this icon will take the user to an options page where he can either choose to chat with Microsoft Support or request for a call – either immediately or at a later convenient time.

If it is unable to answer our question directly, it will then direct us to videos which will help solve our problem. In order to activate Cortana, users need to click on the microphone displayed on the menu bar or say “Hey Cortana” if it is already enabled.
