Fn" key is by default enabled in Dell laptops, you can disable Fn through BIOS setup. For this, reboot/restart you system and when DELL symbol shows, press F2 to enter into BIOS setup, select "POST Behaviour" ==> "Fn Lock Options". On the right side screen select "Lock Mode Disable/Standard". It will disbale the "Fn" key and it won't interrupt while debugging.

Ah got your issue Now so we can disable the fn key behaviour normally it needs the some alt or shift to make function key work

can u disable it from Bios

No No I mean if u have resharper it overrides the Function key behavoir other than that there is no reason for the function key not to work properly

if u have resharper installed u can disable it and try again
