Hi everybody, do you know any solution for the keyboard backlight timeout?
I have another HP Spectre 13" and the keyboard doesn't switch off automatically.
Hey HP........ why this one automatically switch off the keyboard light...??????
I tried the "bios solution" but I haven't the "advanced" option.
I paid my laptop 2k euros and, frankly, I don't understand why I don't have that ghostly "business" option.........
How much I have to spend for this stupid feature...????
Thanks.

Thank you The_Fossette for your help.
Unfortunately your suggestion is only for switch on and off the keyboard backlight.
NOT FOR KEEPING THE KEYBOARD LIGHT ALWAYS ON!
If you are using the laptop for work (or not...) with low light in your room, you need the keyboard backlight always on, because if it automaticaly turns off after few seconds, while you are loking to the screen, when you look back to the keyboard it's completely dark and you need to pess a key to reactivate it, every time.... and every time... (if you are tipyng this is a problem...)
This is very stupid..., sorry...
As I had written in my first message, the "professional" version of your product has a kind of option, in the bios menu, where you can force the light always ON without timeout.
Now..., my computer maybe isn't a "professional" version but i paid 2k euro for it, more than a lot of professional laptop that HP sells...!
Why we don't have this option in the BIOS??
I already had an HP Spectre x360 13" but without this issue..
Please solve this problem, I'm not alone that is asking for this!
Thanks

Sorry but I think you didn't read my two posts.
This is not a problem of my laptop, this is a lack of ALL this kind of laptop.
Thanks anyway.
