Keyboard Lighting.

keyboard lighting doesn't work after I shut down and turn on my M1 air. It works only after I log in. This is quite inconvenient when I am trying to log-in in a dark environment.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2

That would be normal.


If I am not mistaken two things come into play.


1 - Until the Operating System is full loaded which would require a Log In


2 - The sensor in the Built In Webcam that senses the Ambient Light would not to Active and activate the keyboard lighting requirements
