Windows 10: Dim screen after graphic driver updates

My windows screen becomes dull like how a non backlit display would look whenever I boot up my pc. I have to shine a flashlight on the screen to see the content of the screen. I am already up to date with windows and drivers which I checked through the "Updates and Security" section.The issue arose after my laptop's motherboard was change. The older motherboard had a NVIDIA 820M graphic card and this one doesn't have a graphic card. I've tried every method I could find online but the issue keeps reappearing. This is my baseboard info. The system runs fine when I've disabled the graphic adapter

Updated to windows 10, screen now very dim and I can't adjust it


I tried many other options for the post 10 dim screen on my SONY VAIO laptop with Intel graphics but only this one seems to have worked. Screen went totally black after I made the switch. Manually closed the laptop down but when I started it up again the screen was bright and readable though the graphics are slightly squashed vertically. I hope it holds up. thanks for the suggestions.
QUOTE=IvanDavid1;313636]I had the same problem. The day I upgraded to Windows 10, my screen went very dim, and I could not adjust it. I searched online and it seems that a Windows 10 compatible driver for my graphics card hasn't been released. They released a beta but it doesn't work well. (I have the Intel HD 4000 graphics card on a Lenovo P400 Touch).

Anyway I tried a bunch of methods I saw in other forums and finally came across something that worked for me. Give it a shot.


Open Device Manager (Search for it or right-click Start). Confirm the UAC prompt, if necessary.

Select Display Adapters and right-click on Intel HD Graphics 4000, then select Update Driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Choose "Display Adapters" as Device Type and select Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.[/QUOTE]
