Running windows 7 on early 2014 MacBook Air. The keyboard doesn't illuminate until I get past the log in screen. It would help to have the illumination for typing the password as I use the laptop in subdued lighting. Is this normal?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4
Look at Power Options and Adaptive Lighting. You Mac has built in Light Sensor which is used on the OS X side. If the BC drivers are installed correctly, you will see a Light Sensor in Device Manager.

BC driver? U mean PC? I should look for and adjust light sensor while in Windows 7 control panel to cause keyboard to automatically illuminate when laptop boots up?
Just to clarify, it goes like this... Press power button, laptop boots to log in screen in windows 7. The keyboard is not illuminated. Once I put in my login password and press enter and Windows starts, the keyboard then illuminates. I want it to illuminate as soon as the windows login screen appears.
BC Drivers = Bootcamp Drivers for Apple-specific hardware, which includes the light sensor. There should be an entry for it in the Device Manager. You should also check Power Options for settings. I can send you screen shots when I get to Windows running on a Mac.
Same issue for me. Keyboard only lights once I log on to Windows.
The BC version driver does not seem to support it. I will try and find out if there are any options.
Backlit keyboard delayed illumination on log in screen?
