Q: Backlight and function keys not working on Windows 10
Hi!
After I updated my Windows 8.1 to 10, I lost my keyboard's backlight, function keys (volume, brightness, etc) and the OSD that I used to have (similar to the OSX one).
My Bootcamp was updated thru USB, after preparing it on the Mac side. Now it's on version 6.
I tried reinstalling manually, removing everything Apple related and reinstalling, etc, but nothing seems to help.
Actually I just wasn't able to remove the Bootcamp Support, because there was no option on this item.
My MBP is Mid-2012.
Do you know what can I do to solve this?
Thanks!!!

Loner,
I was already gathering my stuff to remove Windows, but I was trying my last resources.
While removing every single unnecessary program, I looked into Startup tab in Task Manager.
I found out that Bootcamp Manager was there, but wasn't starting. So I started it manually and my keyboard backlit at the same time.
OSD and everything else now is working.
I still don't know what's causing it not to start correctly, though.
Thanks for your help!
