@Gunter0:

Thank you so much!

What worked for me was that I changed the value from REG_SZ to REG_DTYPE and followed yours and the previous guys gave and voila, it works. Thanks a bunch guys.

The Original question I posted here in the forum was:

"How do I adjust the length of time the keyboard stays lit on a  hp 15-da0031nr  ? "

any idea's on this?

If you guys are not comfortable in the registry, you can copy the following text into a file with the .reg extension and run it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy]
"WhqlSettings"="e0000001"
"BootUpgradedSystem"=dword:00000000
"UpgradedSystem"=dword:00000000
"WhqlDeveloperTestMode"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SynTP\Parameters]
"KBCNotifyConfig"=dword:00000000

I do not have a SynTP key in my registry. Could you help me out?

I previously flagged this solution as malware.  It seems I was mislead when things got hot; I must apologize, this solution works!

This worked perfectly for me 😊

I called the HP care services and the tech used this file to fix my problem over the phone.

He was in Tunisia and i'm in Canada an d i was very happy with the service he gave me.

I suggest you try it if you don't want to take a chance of doing it yourselves.

By the way, the technician was aware of this problem and he too could not understand why this simple thing has been left off the new series of Spectres.

He told me that they will probably issue a fix soon.

tested and works on 15-df1033dx

for anyone too lazy (lol) or if you feel iffy about touching some things, here is a repack with modified kbdfix.bat that will copy the driver and write the registry the way it needs to be, along with create the service to start with windows, no need for task scheduler

the only issue i see with this is that the signing cert is valid to 11/24/2021, maybe it refuses to work after that? someone more knowledgeable than I should chime in on that...

just run kbdfix.bat as admin

Thank you so much! This worked like a charm, if somebody knows the answer to the question about the certificate that would be great, although hopefully HP will have fixed this major problem by then, although I seriously have my doubts.
