Cant Change Brightness Windows 10

Jul 09, 2019  To change the brightness on an external monitor, use the buttons on it. The Brightness slider appears in action center in Windows 10, version 1903. To find the brightness slider in earlier versions of Windows 10, select Settings System Display, and then move the Change brightness slider to adjust the brightness. Nov 27, 2015  I recently got the Windows 10 upgrade on my laptop, and now I can't adjust the brightness of my screen. I don't know what the name of the model I have is, but it's an Asus laptop with a touchscreen, model number atheros/ar5b125. Before the upgrade, I adjusted my screen brightness by holding the Fn key and pressing f5 or f6 to lower or raise it.

This is a little ridiculous. I'm trying to change my brightness, which used to be a press of Fn + F2 and now I have to go into settings restart my computer run as compatibility which doesn't even show up for me...My eyes are hurting and I just want windows 8 back. Oh wait, that also used to be at the touch of a few buttons and it would take me back. Now I have to apparently have a recovery drive on a flash drive. Why do you make everything so hard for us? Why cant it be as easy as before? What is the purpose, even, of changing it to be more difficult. I'd like to say I'm quite adept with computers, but if you ask people to do these basic tasks when even I can't I'm surprised you aren't flooded with complaints.

Go to settings - display. Scroll down and move the brightness bar. If the brightness bar is missing, go to control panel, device manager, monitor, PNP monitor, driver tab and click enable.

Then go back to settings - dispay and look for the brightness bar and adjust.

You seem to be missing your hotkey driver..you might wanna see (google) which hotkey driver works for you, if the one for your model doesn't fix the f2 and f3. I had to get a different laptop's (ProBook 4540s) hotkey driver for my(4530s) hotkeys to work.

But windows was not able to find the latest driver, and said the drivers were up to date, which was not true. I checked the manufacturer's website for the same and found the update and now its fixed.
