Windows 10: How to change brightness on a desktop computer?

Clicking "All Settings" just takes me to the normal Settings menu I get from the Start Menu.

No "Suggested" tile either? It's not listed in "Add or Remove quick actions". And doesn't show up if I set "Get tips, tricks, and suggestions...." to on. That may be because I'm running the Education version, which doesn't have Cortana.

Sorry, accidental post...

 

Sorry if I mislead you.....screen taken from my Surface Pro 4 with keyboard connected, but was in Desktop Mode.
Sometimes its difficult to remember*which computer I am using...2 laptops and 2 desktops.
Most modern keyboards also are able to alter light settings...all mine do, both laptops and desktops.

addenda.....that bloody asterisk has appeared again, must be a bug.

 

Indeed, there are tons ways to do it, but without a power management service, neither of them work.

I am waiting for DVI to VGA adapter to be able to use 75Hz and hopefully it will fix this issue as well.

 

It was the "Open settings" part that threw me off. Its actually in the Notifications Area. I found it a little while after posting. More of guess as to where I thought it might be.

 

AMD driver doesn't allow changes?? Picture shows setting for Catalyst, but Crimson have similar..

Edit: it is in my digital panel...

 

Yes, I find it odd as well, but there is nothing there.

 

Try this

 

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately not working either.

 

Reading thread at AMD (i just make typo MAD - peculiar...)

People there are reinstalling 16.3.2..

 

@TairikuOkami If you still have the problem with AMD drivers, there is utility I've read about today, called ClickMonitorDCC.

 

Thanks for suggestion, but it is not working either, I guess I am missing a driver or something. *Shock

OK, I have got HDMI to VGA cable and when playing with settings I have found out, that I have to disable:

ACR
Colour Mode
ECO Mode (I did not even know, I have got this one, it was hidden, I had to click on the left arrow)

then I can change brightness via monitor, still not via Windows, whenever DDC/CI is On or Off, but whatever.
