@mehdi-abdelkhalek hello, i can add this command to same Charge task.

But this is the first time i hear that keyboard brightness needs to be set on reboot. As usually it stays same as before.

Has it always been like that for you? Or could it be some firmware hiccup?

Sorry for the late reply I didn't notice the cause until you pointed out that it shouldn't be the case. I have the habit of scheduling shutdown then close the lid (I disabled sleep on lid close), which in turn turns off keyboard backlight. Next time, Windows boots with backlight off and while still in login screen, I can't change it with Fn+F2/F3 keys until logged in. On a side not, I couldn't find any documentation about the "Laptop Backlight" section in extra settings, I don't understand what these settings do.
