Since I've installed yosemite on my Macbook Pro, when starting up my keyboard doesn't light up. After I type in my password then the keyboard lights up. Prior to yosemite as soon as the area for typing in my password came up my keyboard was lit so I could see the keys in the low morning light just to sign on. Anyone else have this problem?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7AMDRadeon6750
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

Very surprising!!
I have the latest 2016 MacBook Pro and faced this exact same issue and your suggestion worked! Thanks!!
I did turn on File Vault manually after starting my Mac for the first time and then gradually noticed the Keyboard & TouchBar were not lighting up the first time I started my Mac overtime until I enter my login info and press "return".
However, the Keyboard & TouchBar were working fine when I first started it up after unboxing though.
Don't know what File Vault has got to do with disabling the Keyboard lighting mechanism when the Mac is started up for the first time after shutting down previously.
Very strange. Unless there's a encryption security reason or something.
#Apple.
This should be a bios option plain and simple. Asking users to compromise their system security just so they can log in in the dark is ridiculous.
No keyboard light on startup?
