recently bought a new computer with windows 10

open rails works and runs just fine

but when i try to do some switching to uncouple couple etc the f9 and f10 keys do not bring up the relevant screen box

is there something i need to alter in OR to access the uncoupling display box?

I seem to remember when I got my pc a year ago I had to change something to get the f keys to work properly. Can't for the life of me remember what it was but I guess if you google it something will turn up.

I had this problem on my Lenovo laptop and, as a programmer, I need those Function keys easily available.

It seems that on many laptops you can set the default action, so all the keys behave as Function keys by default or behave with the manufacturer's choices, e.g. "increase volume".

Here is a link to a webpage on how to set the default action.
