Reversing Fn key - Logitech Keyboard K290

Question

My question is similar to this question but the situation here is in an external keyboard (Logitech Comfort Keyboard K290). Is there anyway I can revert the Fn key to behave as it is pressed all the time?

note : this is not a problem, this is the default of the keyboard. all F keys cannot be pressed without Fn key as the default ones are shortcuts (brightness - volume - media - ..etc)

I am wiring the keyboard to Asus K55VD - Windows 8

For anyone else that stumbles upon this question. SetPoint now includes a checkbox that enables you to change the default setting back to using F1-F12 instead of media keys:

enter image description herefor those who came here looking for a solution, use powertoys. There is a keyboard remapping feature. With it, you will select f1 and it will remap to fn+f1 Then it will select fn+f1 and remap to f1. With this you will reverse the order of the keys

Logitech keyboards can now toggle the default status of the FN key without any software by pressing FN+ESC.

`FN`+`ESC` does not work on my K290. The escape doesn't even have any alternate function blue markings. – shreyansp Sep 29 '22 at 10:41
