hey guys first time here

i have an issue with my bootcamp system

i have an fully fresh updated windows system

and the keyboard lights were workings fine for couple days

then its stopped one day randomly to work

the touchbar works fine i can raise the brightness of the screen

i have there the two keyboard brightness buttons too but nothing happnd

when using them

i have tried to reinstall the windowssupport
ive tried diffrent method of downloading the bootcamp driver (found a GitHub repo)
tried to check the settings in applecontrolpanel.exe if something wrong
checked if its an hardware issue its working fine in osx
tried to kill the bootcamp process and start again

ive readed all the articles i could find and cannot figure out why its behave like that

its seems like driver issue and not mine hope some update about it

Hi I got an update

there was actually something blocking it

i looked and found a utility called “shutup10” and played with the options

and found out that

disabling Sensors for locating the system and it’s orientation is making the Backlight to stop working

anyway thanks:)

everything works fine hope someone find this helpful in future
