  1. I can't open display setting and can change my brightness


    So after I sign in into a microsoft account, everything broke, my personalize setting got reset, my background image changed back to original windows 10 background.

    And then when I checked display setting, it won't open, can even change brightness too. *When I open safe mode, I can open display setting normally*.

    And I have try every methods, using sfc/scannow, create another account, health restore... nothing works. I know this won't effect my laptop much but it still kinda annoying, so really need some help.

    :)

  2. Brightness keeps changing automatically. Adaptive brightness option is not there in the display options

    My display brightness keeps changing every time i switch between different apps. I've been having this issue for a long time.

    I'm using HP Omen Laptop. Windows 10.

    I saw another thread with the same issue but was unable to reply in it.

    I followed the steps that said the following:

    *As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to follow the below steps to disable the adaptive or auto brightness for the selected power plan (if you already have a Power Plan created in Windows)

    • Open Control Panel and click on Power Options.
    • Open your active power plan, you’ll see Change plan settings option. Click Change plan settings next to your current power plan to open Edit Plan Settings window.
    • Click Change advanced power settings option. This will open Power Options dialog.
    • Expand Display and then expand Enable adaptive brightness. Change it to Off*

    But the problem i the option "Enable adaptive brightness" is not even there.

  3. 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! -
