  1. Brightness buttons not working


    Hello,


    I have hp elite laptop bought recently. Lately i recieved an update due to which my brightness controls and brightness buttons on keyboard have stopped working. I was not able to change brightness thru battery settings either.


    After updating display driver a few times, only the keyboard controls seem to be not working. Otherwise i can chsnge the brightness thru other methods.


    Have also tried updating generic pnp monitor. But gave me a message that best driver has already been installed.


    If anyone has any solution apart from which i have already mentioned, pls share.



    Thanks

    :)

    Hi Ella,

    To adjust the brightness, see the steps below:

    • Go back to Power Options, and tick on the High performance.
    • See if you can adjust the brightness.

    If this not work, we highly suggest that you create an Administrator account, and re-do the steps above.

    Let us know how it goes.
