    Windows display brightness settings missing


    I recently activated a windows 10 Pro key, downloaded the latest graphics driver etc. However, when i went into the windows settings and wanted to change the display brightness, it was no where to be found. On my windows laptop, I could easily find it under the display settings. But now, When i go to the display settings, I can only find the options for; Night Light, Windows HD Color and Scale and layout. When i right click the start button and go to "Device Manager" and look under "display adapters", The "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" option is missing. Does anyone know how to download it? Is there another way to fix this? Do I need to change anything?

    :)

  2. screen brightness on windows 10

    Hi,

    Some computers can let Windows automatically adjust screen brightness based on the current lighting conditions.

    To manually adjust the screen brightness, we suggest following these troubleshooting steps:

    • Click Start, then select Settings.
    • Choose System, then select Display.
    • Under Brightness and color, move the Change brightness slider to adjust the brightness.

    Feel free to post back if you have other concern.
