XPS15 Backlit Keyboard timeout settings, where?
Just received the new model XPS15 with all the bells and whistles, so far I'm very impressed, especially with the design and build quality. When I was first setting up the machine, I distinctly recall being asked to set the "keyboard backlight time out period". When the keyboard light would go out, say after 5 secs, 15 secs, etc. I set this but now I would like to increase the time before the keyboard goes dark....
But I cannot find that setting anywhere. I have searched the Help, through the Settings and Control Panel, and Googled for hours. I've read about Dell Quikset and Dell Feature Enhancement Pack (not designed for the new XPS though), I cannot find the setting. There is nothing in the Mobility Center for Keyboard backlighting timeout, not the power settings. Can anyone help?
Thanks for any help you can render.

Thanks, but no, I checked that, no settings through the device manager.

Double post, sorry.
Seriously, I looked through Dell's site all day, can't find anything. This is so strange, because I know it was there when I first turned on the PC and started registering and setting it up. I guess I will call tech support tomorrow.

UPDATE: I Googled some more tonight and found this: Dell Feature Enhancement Pack Application
www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails
Sure enough, that utility did install on my Win10 XPS 15 and seems to be working The settings are there to keep the keyboard lighted for 5 secs, 15 secs, 1 minute, 5 minutes....it's great!
