HP Dragonfly Backlit Keyboard Will Not Stay On

[DodgeyShanks]

Just setting up my Xmas present from the wife..

The backlit keyboard will not stay lit, unlike my old Elitebook 820.

I've changed the setting for timeout in the BIOS and still will not stay lit, its changes when i press the button, so that works.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks... Apart from that, getting use to Windows 11 and love the new laptop..

There is more than one Dragonfly model.

For example,

If this is your business class Elite Dragonfly computer:

HP Elite Dragonfly Notebook PC 

then, Open Category Manuals

Open this document / Guide:

HP Elite Dragonfly Notebook PC - BIOS Simulator

The Backlit keyboard timeout is located in the BIOS > Advanced > Built-In Device Options

Adjust the timeout as wanted - from a few seconds to "never" (leave on).

Reminder:  The guide does not open your actual BIOS - it is a reference / how-to document.

Thanks but all fixed..

I needed to uncheck the option for Auto BackLit Keyboard. They both changed after the bios update i did.

You are welcome.

I'll leave the post in case someone else wants information on how to check the options in the BIOS.

Stay safe and enjoy the holidays.
