Welcome to these forums.

Mod note: Please use code-tags to format configuration and console output. Please edit your post in this regard.
Also consider using some punctuation in your sentences, so that one knows where one sentence ends and the next one begins.

Also the output from Windows's registry is probably irrelevant to your problem on Arch Linux.

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999

We'll need at least a vague idea what HW this is (keyboards are typically wired via USB or PS/2 resp I2C, not pci)
Maybe regular keyboard backlights will actually work w/ https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=brightnessctl

ok https://termbin.com/m1nv here also i found this archive.org page which includes older versions of the software https://archive.org/details/control-cen … .0-hyperpc
also, the keyboard backlight is rgb if that helps somehow
