Hello, every time I boot the computer the backlit keyboard turns on! I find it annoying, since I need to disable it every time I boot the computer. Please help me solve this problem! My laptop is lenovo ideapad slim 5 16"

Welcome to Lenovo Community MRocha01,

I apologize. To disable the backlit keyboard on startup, you can try the following steps:

1. Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard and select "Device Manager" from the menu.
2. In the Device Manager window, expand the "Keyboards" category.
3. Right-click on your backlit keyboard device and select "Properties."
4. In the Properties window, go to the "Driver" tab.
5. Click on the "Disable" button to disable the device.

Lenovo Vantage is a convenient application that enables you to customize various settings on your Lenovo laptop. Within Lenovo Vantage, navigate to the 'Hardware Settings' tab, where you can find options related to your laptop's hardware configurations. Look for the keyboard-related settings; you should find an option to control the backlight behavior, such as 'Keyboard Backlight On Startup.' Disable or uncheck this option. After making the necessary changes, save your settings and exit Lenovo Vantage.

If this does not help, there might not be a direct option to disable the automatic activation of the backlit keyboard on startup. This feature enhances the user experience, especially in low-light environments. Having the keyboard backlight turn on automatically at startup allows users to immediately see the keys and use the laptop comfortably without having to manually enable the backlight every time the system starts. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Best regards,

I still didn't find that feature, but I did a hardware scan there and now, my screen has two missing pixels lines in my screen, after I did the hardware scan the lines appeared! One line can't be seen on white screen (color blue, on the left side of my screen), and the one horizontally can be seen on any color... The laptop is brand new, 2weeks old, and already getting problems.... What should I do

I just found out the name is screen flickering, but the lines disappeared, should I be worried for upcoming events? I took a picture of it. In the lenovo vantage app, I can't find that option..The only things I can see related to keyboard are on the photo attached, am I on the right place?

Hi @Hassen_Lenovo, I have the same issue - everytime I start my laptop, the keyboard backlight is set to Automatic. Will you add in the Lenovo Vantage the option to stop keyboard backlight be set to automatic at startup? I.e. keyboard backlight to be set to OFF at startup.

Actually I do not mind if backlight flashes a bit at start up. I mind about the afterwards - when I slightly touch a key, currently the keyboard backlight turns on.
