Also, some Dell computers have a key stroke to turn this on or off.  It is
FN Escape.

turn it off is in the bios but you will probably need some kind of visual
assistance. Depending upon what model of dell laptop you may be able to
toggle this feature on or off using a dell utility that is pre-installed on
the laptop or an utility available on the dell web site. It would really
help you if you know the service tag on the laptop. Pleas shout out if I can
be of any further assistance! Good luck and have a good week-end.
