  • If there is no setting in the bios, then you cannot.

  • You should be able to turn the light on (as distinct from the startup sequence). Try this (from a Dell Manual): To turn the backlight on/off or adjust the backlight brightness settings: To initialize the keyboard backlight switch, press Fn+F10 (the Fn key is not needed if function key Fn lock is enabled). The first use of the preceding key combination turns on the backlight to its lowest setting.

  • here the problem is not about brightness. About backlight standing time

  • The keystrokes are both for enabling light and controlling brightness. Are you able to use Fn-F10 to turn on the light?

I just contacted the Dell care and I found the solution

 - first get into bios by pressing f2 key
 - then go to system preferences and scroll down to end
 - there you will find backlight standout time in charge mode and battery usage mode
 - there you can increase or decrease the time

You're going to have to install the Dell Feature Enhancement Suite. It's an official app from Dell. This is the direct link to the download page: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-pk/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=mhvwp

Once you've installed the app, open Control Panel and go to Hardware and Sound.

Click Dell Keyboard backlight Settings and change the backlight time. I've tested this on Windows 10 2004 running on a Dell Inspiron 7000 series laptop.
