Windows 10: Laptop brightness stuck at low

After a bug that happened while i was playing gmod, the screen froze, and the home screen was very small with low resolution. i restarted my laptop, and the screen brightness was stuck at low, saying it was at 100%. I've had this happen before, but took 3 months to fix by itself

What should i do?

Windows 10 Screen Brightness Problem

Upgraded to Win 10 from 7 on Gateway Laptop and screen brightness is stuck on very low setting. Keyboard controls show increase in brightness but nothing happens on the screen. Went into settings and adjusted brightness to max on battery
and power with no change. Upgraded drivers - no change. Suggestions please.

 

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
