pspatel321 / auto-backlight-for-thinkpad

Automation for certain Lenovo Thinkpad laptops (ex. X1c, X1e, P1) to control the keyboard backlight on Windows installations using a system-tray application. Those laptops do not save the backlight state across power events (Suspend, display off, lid close). This behavior can be undesirable to some users, so this project provides a convenient fix.

I'm unable to successfully load the program on my P73 running Win10 Pro 1909. If it's of any value, I see the following two errors in the event viewer:

It appears most of the issues others have submitted may be similar to mine where the program simply isn't loading. I hope that the information in my original post is helpful. This app seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, so I'd love to contribute anything to help improve it.
