Turn on keyboard backlight on poweron

On G551JW CN215D when I power on the laptop, the keyboard backlight turns on for a little time, but after that it turns off. It comes back on only after I log in to windows, so it is completely dark while I type in my password on the lock screen.

Is there a way to keep the keyboard lights on from the beginning during the whole login process?

hope this thread fixes your concern @fmikee 🙂

TURN ON KEYBOARD BACKLIGHT ON POWERON

I have a new GU603HM laptop (Windows 11) that does this exactly behavior. I would very much like to have the keyboard lights on while typing my password. Can this be done on my machine? I searched for Hcontrol.exe and for ASLDR but cannot find either one (searched apps and features as well as entire PC file system for both). I assume that those things have different names and locations now. This has been an issue for so long, has Asus provided a soluion?
