i cant because its already been ten days, i had forgotten to do that, but i do know its the upgrade because i had tested everything before i had upgraded and right after the keyboard backlight on my laptop stopped turning when i brought it from sleep mode
 
I don't know about your HP Envy, but I recently purchased an HP Pavilion with a backlit keyboard. Pressing the F5 key toggles the keyboard lighting on and off.

When I either power up the laptop or wake it from sleep, the keyboard lights revert to the condition they were in when I had shut down the laptop or put it to sleep.

Does your Envy do the same, by any chance?

what do you mean?when i put my laptop to sleep and wake it up, the keyboard wont turn back on, like when i hit the f5 key itll turn the keyboard off but the f5 key will stay on, but neither the keyboard nor the f5 key stay on when i wake my laptop from sleep.
 


What I mean is, if the keyboard lights are OFF when I go to shut down or put the laptop to sleep, they will remain OFF when I restart the computer or wake it up, unless I then press the f5 key to turn them on.

If the keyboard lights are ON before I shutdown or put the laptop to sleep, when I power it back up or wake it from sleeping, the keyboard lights will automatically come back ON without pressing the f5 key.


Okay, so the keyboard is lit when you put the laptop to sleep, but the keyboard light doesn't come back on when you wake up the laptop, even if you then hit the f5 key? Don't understand what you mean by, "when i hit the f5 key itll turn the keyboard off but the f5 key will stay on", though. On my laptop, the f5 key turns the lights on if I press it. If I press the f5 key again, the lights go off.

what i mean is that lets say i press the f5 key to turn the keyboard on then turn the laptop on sleep mode, after i wake it from sleep the keyboard will not turn on and it forces me to press the f5 key which will make the keyboard ligh up but then instantly turn back off because it takes it as me having the light on, then i have to press the f5 key to turn it back on again
