Cannot adjust brightness after Windows 10 Update 1803

[melliott2]

After last Windows 10 Update ver. 1803, I cannot adjust screen brightness via keyboard function keys.  Updating to latest HP graphics driver did not help.  Attempted to update using Intel's latest driver but this was blocked by HP.  Is there a fix for this issue resulting from the last Windows update?  There are numerous posts of this same issue with various models. 

Thanks.

Please download and re-install the following software

Hope this helps.

I will do this, thanks.  But will this install over the current version already on my notebook or do I need to remove the older version?  And what do I do after it is reinstalled? 

Thanks again.

Normally you can install over the top.

This worked, thanks.  Brightness keys now work again.  However, after installing file, my fingerprint login no longer functioned. I reconfigured my fingerprint and it now works again. 

Should the f12 calendar key function?  Nothing happens when this key is pressed.

Thanks.
