Windows 10: Brightness of my laptop won't change

Hello! I have an ASUS TUF, it’s very new but for some reason the brightness won’t change anymore when I try and either adjust the slider or use the hotkeys. I’ve tried updating the drivers but nothing happened.

To be clear when I try and change the brightness, the bar showing how bright my screen is changes like it should, but the screen’s brightness doesn’t actually change.

Help would be very appreciated!

Unable to Change Screen Brightness of Laptop


So I'm not sure how long this has been happening but for some reason, I can't change the brightness on my laptop screen. I have linked a picture and as you can see, my brightness says 0% and that I can't change it, however my actual brightness is at 100%. I have looked around everywhere and the only responses I have found don't work for me. Here's a list of everything I have tried:
- Reinstalling Display Drivers
- Rolling Back Display Drivers
- Reset Settings on UWT4
- Power and Battery Settings
(UWT4 or Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 is a customizer for Windows 10 and I thought that might be the problem but it wasn't)

If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, it's greatly appreciated! Thanks! -
