    To turn on the keyboard backlight in Windows 11, you can typically use the keyboard shortcut designated for your device, which often involves pressing the Fn key along with a function key (like F5, F6, or a key with a keyboard icon). If your device supports it, you can also adjust the keyboard backlight settings through the Windows Settings:

    1. Open Settings by pressing Windows + I.
    2. Navigate to Devices > Typing.
    3. Look for keyboard backlight options and adjust them according to your preference.

    Additionally, if your device has specific software or drivers installed (like those from the manufacturer), you may find more detailed options there.

    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    Could you tell me the make and model of your laptop or keyboard? The steps can vary depending on your device.

    In the meantime, you can try this: check the keys from F1 to F12 and look for a keyboard/backlight icon. Press that key (sometimes with the Fn key) to turn on the backlight. If nothing happens, try pressing Windows key + Esc, then press the backlight key again.


    If the issue persists, please provide more details by answering my questions.
