Your Lenovo has an override: have you tried contacting Lenovo support?
Which Lenovo model is this?

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I found this article on mapping Function Keys on a Lenovo. Perhaps this applies to your computer. If not, check Lenovo's site for your model-specific information.

Try holding down the fn key and press Esc, that is supposed to toggle the function. A more permanent solution is to go into the Bios and change the setting for the Function keys back to standard mode.
