The options related to the keyboard backlight in UEFI are very poor and underdeveloped. The current preferences in the latest BIOS version make it impossible to turn off the key backlight, which always turns on with the laptop.The setting options available there are very "different" compared to laptops from competing companies. For many years, users have been accustomed to, for example, the configuration known from HP or Dell. Why did Acer do it differently?The current form of arrangement is senseless, illogical and does not work. No matter what is set, the laptop always turns on with illuminated keys.The options there should look like this:

KEYBOARD BACKLIGHT WHEN STARTING THE COMPUTER:

1. ALWAYS ON

2. ENABLED AT STARTUP FOR 5 SECONDS

3. ENABLED AT STARTUP FOR 10 SECONDS

4. ENABLED AT STARTUP FOR 30 SECONDS

5. ENABLED AT STARTUP FOR 1 MINUTE

2. ALWAYS OFF

No matter which option I currently choose from the available ones, the computer always turns on with the keyboard illuminated.
