Intel HD Graphics card - Brightness (MAX)

Dear All

I upgraded my (Sony) laptop over the weekend to Windows 10 1803. I noticed my display was set to max brightness (%100) , I am also unable to change the brightness in the display settings. My drivers are all updated. Any suggestions on how to fix this,
Please?

I have a Sony Laptop with the Intel (R) HD Graphics.

Display Brightness too low even when set at 100%, after updating to Windows 10

Screen Brightness remains too low in spite of taking many steps

Dear Pavan,

Sorry for the belated response as I was in the meanwhile also trying some other solutions that came in connection with my not being able to delete any attachments to a mail in any mode. Here is an update:

I raised this issue for the first time on April 15, 2016. Several suggestions came in and I tried all of them but the problem remains unsolved.

The background: Recently I upgraded my 2 laptops (Acer 5750 & Sony Vaio 64-bit, i5) from the earlier Windows 7 to Windows 10. The Brightness of Display which was fully good earlier, became too low on Sony laptop
as if set to 15 or 20%, even when set to 100%. Being dim, it strains the eye. No such problem is there with Acer laptop.

Suggestions so far received which have been already implemented are:

• 
  Brightness & Contrast settings
  
• 
  Colour Contrast & Balance
  
• 
  High Contrast & Making the Computer easier to see
  
• 
  Gamma Adjustment
  
• 
  SFC scan now
  
• 
  Complete DIS Scan, including RestoreHealth
  
• 
  Troubleshooting
  
• 
  Clean Reboot
  

Unfortunately, the trouble remains. Can you or anyone else help?

Best wishes,

Kumar

 

Brightness setting not working

Thank you for your answer. I tried everything except 3.D. Update driver from manufacturer's website

because I don't know what driver I should download.

I downloaded Intel® Driver & Support Assistant and it says no software updates are available.

Can you help?
