Adjust screen brightness Windows 10

[Notebook-Eddy]

This information was helpful but on my HP 15 Notebook I had to do the opposite and rollback the driver

Settings > Display > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties

Then Properties > Driver Tab > Roll Back Driver

For me nothing helped (roll-back, reinstall, etc...)


The only solution is to download the driver: "HP Hotkey support" from the HP site.

Now everything is working fine.

Good luck

Baustin27, Thank you for this fix.

I upgraded this hp envy from W8 to W10 anniversary.

Then I waved bye-bye to my control keys at the top of the keyboard.

I tried all of the fixes mentioned above but to no avail. They may work in some instances on some computers and that is exactly why forums work better than tech support.

Thanks to you my wayward computer is slowly returning home. 🙂

Thank you for taking the time to post.

Quoting Baustin27:

OK I went to Device Manager then expanded Monitors, after that I went to Properties on Generic Pnp Monitor then I clicked Enable. Thats it fully restored brightness instantly. Good Luck

Three days, multiple driver updates, reverts, uninstalls (to and from microsoft, amd, and generic), hardware change scans, manual driver updates from the HP drivers support for my laptop, os update, reverse, reupdate.

This is the one that FINALLY got my control back.

My Monitors driver was set to pnp monitor standard.  I went to update, browse, and changed it to generic.

The immense sigh of relief when my screen suddenly dimmed significantly made my grandma laugh.
