    Adjust volume and brightness WITHOUT FN key?


    Hi all,

    I’m coming from Apple, and now own an Alienware M15 R2 with windows 10. I’m wondering if there is a way to use ONLY the individual brightness control keys and volume control keys to adjust without having to hold “fn” at the same time?

    Thanks!

    Changing brightness is no longer smooth with function keys on 1903

    Hi, There's a the slider for brightness at the bottom of the Action Centre (build 1903).

    If you'd be prepared to consider an alternative... how about smooth control of brightness using your scroll wheel?
    Press a key, plus scroll, and adjust your brightness.

    The key and the steps are your choice.

    Oh, and it can adjust volume similarly.

    Works nicely on my Lenovo Thinkpad, where the Fn key steps for brightness are a bit harsh.

    New laptop FN keys not working [Solved]

    The FN key seems to be a toggle , I don't need to press it every time I want to adjust the volume or brightness.
    With all my previous laptops I needed to press the FN key WITH the f key I needed to use, so it works slightly different on this laptop than what I'm used to.

    Adjust volume and brightness WITHOUT FN key?

    Dell e6220 fn keys can't adjust brightness on windows 10

    My dell e6220 can't adjust brightness on windows 10 via fn+arrow up/down combination. However it is possible to adjust brightness using power management window, or notification panel. Also, after intel hd 3000 updating driver in device management window,
    it's possible to change brightness via fn+arrow up/down combination, until I restart pc.

    p.s. sorry for my english.
