Adjusting screen brightness

[John14Six]

I have a new Laptop Hp Mod 15-da0014dx, is there a way to adjust screen brightness? My last 2010 Hp laptop I adjusted the brightness from those two star icons on the top left, on this new laptop they dont work.

Thank you for choosing the HP Support Forums, a community energized by solutions, as we are eager to help resolve your concerns,

I am @Riddle_Decipher and I'm at your service (Like a Genie, however, without magic powers) 😉

You could change the brightness using the below steps:

Select Start, choose Settings, then select System > Display. Under Brightness and color, move the Change brightness slider to adjust the brightness. (If the slider isn't there, see the Notes section below.)

If the issue persists, please follow the below steps to resolve any display adapter failures:

Settings > Display > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties > 

Then Properties > Driver Tab > Update Driver button.

If the above doesn't work, please uninstall the drivers and restart the computer for it to automatically reinstall the same, and then update the drivers using the HP website:
Click here to find and install the updates for BIOS, Chipset and graphics card drivers.

Keep me posted, as I (Or a trusted colleague) shall follow-up on this case to ensure the concern has been addressed, 

And your device is up and running again, only in case you don't get back to us, first!

Nothing worked to adjust screen brightness, just dont understand why something so simple has to be so complicated. I managed to get one picture on here when I first go to settings taken with my phone, the other pictures I wanted to show but for some reason this site wont download them because files are to big and I dont how to make the picture files smaller.

(Settings > Display > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties > 

Then Properties > Driver Tab > Update Driver button.)

I did what you said but nothings working, still cant adjust screen brightness, after going through all that clicking the last thing on the screen says>>>"The best drivers for your device are already installed", That ofter link you sent might take me in over my head, not sure if I can figure that out.  thanks for trying to help.

Thank you for responding,

This is the Riddle_Decipher, again!

You may want to uninstall the display drivers from the device manager,

Restart the pc when done and it should automatically reinstall the drivers, this should resolve the issue if it doesn't, the best way to install the drivers since the last link seemed complicated is to install the HP Support Assistant: Click here for details.

Keep us posted,

Finally I found this video on Youtube tonight, the poor mans coleage school, from 0-:55 is what worked for me. I spent the last 5 nights or about 12 hours trying to find and or figure this adjusting screen brightness out, 12 hours for :55 seconds to solve a problem, now the star icons on the top left of my key board are working and I now have the brightness bar in the settings.
