My keyboard backlight works on the Lock Screen but it disappears when I log in So I have a problem as the title says my keyboard backlight works on the lock screen but then doesn't work anymore after I press enter after typing my password. I tried installing Karabiner but it didn't work so I don't know what to do now? Btw I use macOS Sonoma. Even in the settings there is no option to adjust the brightness or to change the light sensor. I tried being in the darkest room possible bot the keyboard backlight refuses to work and I tried f6 and fn+f6. Thank you for the response. I almost forgotten it is an MacBook from 2019 it os an a1932

How to fix keyboard backlight issues after logging In MacBook Pro 15 2018 The keyboard backlight stopped working after the last software update. The keyboard backlight comes up on the login screen but turns off after login credentials are entered. Increasing the brightness automatically returns the setting to 0. Using the buttons on the touch bar does nothing. Tried restarting the computer, then reinstalling Sonoma, still no backlight. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
