Example: HP Laptop 15-DW1
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just purchased this laptop and would like to extend the timer for the backlit keyboard.  Right now, it shuts off after about 5 seconds.  I don't have the Advanced BIOS feature available so I'm wondering if there is a registry setting to change instead.

As I stated in my post, this laptop does not have the Advanced BIOS utility so this solution does not work for me.
