Hi all, So recently, a few days out of warranty, my new laptop decided that it's display driver was going to fail. This sucks. The backup windows driver will not allow my screen to adjust brightness, go into nighttime mode (blue light filter) or project it seems. I don't know much about computers, but I'm fairly capapble so I decided to youtube it. Not my best moment. My older brother is quite the computer guy, and he directed me towards the driver downloads. Although, I'm using windows 10 version 1909, which apparently there is no display driver available for dl yet. What can I do?!?! Please help!

4) Restart the computer.
Also, try updating the computer -
