How to get my ROG G551JW Keyboard lights to come on & stay on?
I can not get my keyboard backlights to come on at all. I’ve tried the Fun + F3 & F4 buttons & nothing works. I reinstalled my OS when I moved my Asus ROG from a 1TB HDD to a 250GB SSD. I did this 4-5 months ago. At work, I always left it plugged into a monitor & USB keyboard. I never noticed if the backlighting came on or not. Now I have to work from home & without the illumination from the backlighting, it can be hard to see the keys. Since now I have it plugged in nearly all the time & I’m not using a USB keyboard I thought I could go into some kind of settings to have the backlighting always on until the screen goes dark as I have setup for after 45 mins of no action. So far I can not find a way to get the backlighting to come on manually or otherwise. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks!

Download and install the ATKACPI driver and kotkey-related utilities for windows 10.

You need to click Show All under the category.

Once downloaded and installed Hotkeys may need to be enabled.

You need to run after this setup.exe and then reboot.
