Windows 10: Can't Change Brightness On Gateway Laptop

I have upgraded from Vista 32 bit to Win 10 32 bit on a Gateway P6822. Everything appears to be working fine except I can't adjust the screen brightness; its stuck on maximum. The hotkeys and also the Win 10 settings do actually make the brightness sliders move up and down but with absolutely no effect.

Windows says the graphics display driver is supposed to be the best one.

Display Adapters
Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
Driver Date 1/10/2012
Version 8.15.10.2697

Monitors
Generic Display Monitor

I installed the Intel driver support assistant and it could not find any new drivers.

I can't find any kind of Intel control panel installed to adjust brightness.

So I think my only option might be to get a third party software than can adjust the brightness.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Chris

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! -

Hi,

Changing the screen brightness on your laptop can be adjusted by going to
System > Display where you can use the slider to adjust the brightness. If your PC supports, you may also let Windows to automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the current lighting condition by enabling
Change brightness automatically when lighting changes.

If you've already the tried the suggestions above but the screen brightness still doesn't change, then we suggest updating the display drivers. Please see
