    can't adjust the brightness on my computer


    My brightness won't adjust at all. I have tried restarting my computer, turning off the dynamic lighting and automatic lighting settings. I have also gone to device manager to see if there is a problem with the dynamic lighting device but it says there is nothing wrong. I've also tried to remove the Dynamic Lighting Background Controller but it will not leave.

    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.
