    Hello

    Keyboard light is not a Windows feature. It is a feature from the hardware/firmware. So it is not possible to adjust it via Windows settings.

    Whether the light can be turned up and down depends on the model itself. If it is supported, typically the same key that turns it on and off can allow you to turn it up or down with each press. If it is not there, then I am afraid it is not supported. Or you can contact Asus support to inquire if your specific model supports this feature.

    Press Fn + F7 repeatedly to cycle through your ASUS VivoBook’s keyboard-backlight brightness levels; on models with separate controls, use Fn + F4 to increase brightness and Fn + F3 to decrease it.^1^

    If the shortcut does not work

    1. Check the top row for a keyboard-backlight symbol, usually an image of a keyboard with light rays:
      • Symbol on F7: press Fn + F7 repeatedly.
      • Symbols on F3/F4: press Fn + F4 to brighten and Fn + F3 to dim.
      • If Function Lock is enabled, try the relevant key without Fn.
    2. If none of those keys has the symbol, check the hotkeys section of the user manual for your exact VivoBook model. Some VivoBook configurations do not include backlit-keyboard hardware, even when otherwise similar models do.^1^
    3. If your model supports backlighting but its documented shortcut does nothing, install the BIOS, Windows packages, and ASUS drivers offered for that exact model. ASUS also documents an EC/RTC hard reset as a later troubleshooting step.^2^

    Keyboard brightness is normally controlled by the ASUS hotkeys rather than the Windows 11 Settings > System > Display brightness control, which adjusts the screen instead.
