Why each option
Laptop function keys (Fn combinations) are designed to quickly toggle common hardware features like switching between the built-in and an external display.
Infrared ports, if present, are typically enabled or disabled through Device Manager or BIOS settings, not a dedicated Fn key combination on modern laptops.
Most laptops include a dedicated Fn key combination (commonly Fn+F4, Fn+F7, or similar) that cycles through display modes - internal only, external only, or both simultaneously. This is a hardware-level shortcut handled by the firmware and keyboard controller, making it a standard function-key feature on virtually all laptops.
Print spooling is an operating system service managed through Windows Services or Print settings and has no corresponding hardware function-key shortcut.
Drive encryption such as BitLocker is managed entirely through operating system software and security policy, not through hardware function keys.
