Windows 10: How to stop windows from controling keyboard backlight?

I have an Asus TUF F16 with windows 11 pro. The problem i'm facing is that windows theme keeps changing my keyboard backlight colour and won't let me chose any effects even with using armoury crate from asus. It's just a static color with the accent colour from the windows theme

:)

 

keyboard backlight

my keyboard backlight stopped. How do I turn it back on? When I go to control panel, it isn't even listed...?

 

Can't find the setting to turn off keyboard backlight

Sarah,

• lacrumb is correct, keyboard backlighting is controlled by utilities put on your computer by the computer maker.
• Keyboard backlighting only appears in Windows mobility centre if the computer maker has put it there.

I suggest

• Checking through your Start menu looking for a computer maker's utility,
• Reading the computer manual,
• Searching the computer maker's website
• Searching any user forums for your computer model
• Installing all hardware updates & BIOS updates provided on the computer maker's website

Hi,

This may have something to do with the driver for the device. We'd like to know some things so we can guide you better in resolving the issue. Please answer the following questions:

• Was the backlight previously working?
• Did the feature stop functioning after applying changes on the computer?
• Have you tried connecting the device to another computer?

We can gather more information about the cause of the problem by running some troubleshooters available in Control Panel. To do so, follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Type Troubleshooting then press Enter.
• On the left panel, click on View all.
• Choose Keyboard and allow the troubleshooter to run.
• Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter as well.

The suggested troubleshooters will automatically correct the issues they find on your computer.

It will also be helpful if you can connect the keyboard to another computer to determine if the problem is specific to the device where the keyboard is currently connected. Connecting the keyboard to another computer will let us know if the backlight is
defective.

Let us know if you have questions.
