  1. Extremely laggy brightness control (except built in windows slider)


    Hi all,

    I got an Acer Nitro 5 recently and the brightness control is *extremely* laggy when using the keys or a third party software brightness slider (I have it to control my external monitor but it also works for internal). It takes over 10 seconds to get from max to min brightness as it freezes between steps.

    This applies both when mashing the keys + holding them down as well as sliding with my cursor [on the third party slider] so it definitely isnt a input setting problem. However, when using the built in windows slider (Settings / mobility center) it is very smooth as it usually is on other laptops.

    Any idea what might be casuing this? My graphics drivers are up to date and the actual display driver is just the generic plug and play one. No amount of reinstalling has fixed it.

    Thanks.

    An interesting option: this free utility - although better known for volume control using the scroll wheel- also has an option for controlling brighness using a key plus scroll wheel which you can configure. (Unless something else is wrong of course)

    • Click the Windows logo; then, search for Control Panel.
    • Select Hardware and Sound.
    • Choose Power Options.

    Brightness slider or control cannot be found.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand your query related to Brightness slider missing on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
    2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
    3. What is the exact model of the PC?


    Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



    Starting with Windows 10 1903 build Brightness slider was introduced in Action Center. However, if you are using an older version of Windows 10 then you might not be able to find the slider on Action Center. I would suggest you to check and install
    all the necessary updates for you system. Refer the article
    Keep your PC up to date




    However, if you are using Windows 10 1903 and the Brightness slider is missing then I would suggest you to try updating the display drivers and see if that helps. Refer the article

    Update drivers in Windows 10
    .



    Additionally, you can refer the article

    Let us know if you have any concerns, we will be glad to assist you.
