changing setting for backlight on laptop keyboard

by imgrateful_1 / December 4, 2011 11:19 AM PST

I have a Toshiba laptop. I have been searching for how to change how long the back light stays on for keyboard. I always use my laptop plugged in so power settings aren't a concern for me. I'm familiar with going to power settings for managing but have not seen a specific direction for having the keyboard backlight to stay on longer. I really love the convenience of it. If I know the steps of making change I can note it if I would want to change the setting back if I'm using it on battery. Thanks.

No OS noted but I'd look under Control Panel.

Power options and try Change Plan Settings.

Thank you Proffitt, I think I discovered something that is the answer. By pressing the FN key + 2 it brings up that option I think that is my answer. I ended the day before spending time on my computer to be able to notice how the process works. I hope this might help someone else with the same question.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
