  1. Can't control the brightness after October 2018 update


    Hi there!
    I bought my Asus laptop just recently and it came with Windows 10 preinstalled. It worked just fine until I did an update a couple days ago. So here is the problem - after I start using my laptop everything works perfectly, but after a certain amount of time all brightness control settings just stop working (?!), and then after I restart, it works normally again. I've tried almost everything - updating drivers, disabling adaptive brightness, changing brightness in settings, running the troubleshooter, but nothing seems to work. I am really starting to lose my mind here, so any help is more than welcome. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

    :)

    Brightness Control not working in Windows 10

    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.

    Can't control the brightness after October 2018 update

    After the latest Windows Update, brightness control and custom keyboard shortcuts no longer function

    Acer 1810TZ

    64 bit OS and processor (4GB)

    Windows 10 Pro

    Version 1803

    Build 17134.48

    Installed 05/17/2018

    Quality Updates Installed

    • KB4103729
    • KB4103721
    Definition Updates Installed

    • KB2267602

    Like the subject says, I've lost brightness control as well as custom keyboard shortcuts I had setup to start programs (Ctrl + Alt + [letter]). I just discovered the latter not working. Brightness control no longer works with function key shortcut, icon
    in the notification panel, or adjusting the brightness slider in Settings.

    Note that Windows key shortcuts DO work. Volume control DOES work with function key, system tray icon slider, etc.

    I've tried the following to no avail:

    • updating display and monitor drivers as well as switching to the basic Microsoft display.
    • uninstalling update
    • reinstalling the update
    • the old voodoo trick of rebooting at each of the above steps

    I'm at a loss as to what to try or what to even what to search for at this point. Thanks for your help!
