Backlight and function keys not working on Windows 10

Hi!

After I updated my Windows 8.1 to 10, I lost my keyboard's backlight, function keys (volume, brightness, etc) and the OSD that I used to have (similar to the OSX one).

My Bootcamp was updated thru USB, after preparing it on the Mac side. Now it's on version 6.

I tried reinstalling manually, removing everything Apple related and reinstalling, etc, but nothing seems to help.

Actually I just wasn't able to remove the Bootcamp Support, because there was no option on this item.

My MBP is Mid-2012.

Do you know what can I do to solve this?

Thanks!!!

A Bootcamp.exe 6.x version should not be set to W8 compatibility. It is a W10 native version. Create a Windows System Restore point, stop the service, remove the executable, and try to re-run setup.exe and check if the service is native and starts automatically.
