Windows 10: MSI-GS63VRE Display changes since last 2 Win updates.

I now have no way to adjust auto-brightness, there's literally no adjustment for it, to untick it, it's gone. I've changed my GPU settings from ded card to auto to onboard and all three no longer have the option to turn off adaptive brightness, it's gone from my advanced options under the power settings/profiles.

Also is the ability to change the font size, I am on a 1080p screen laptop, the font is so very small, I can barely see it. I changed the font size from 100 to 125, to 150-175, nothing changes. I tried in all environs for GPU, both onboard and dedicated.

I click on various settings, it immediately doesn't take me to that setting area for configuring anymore, but pulls up a browser and sends me to "how to do this", or that, I go to the page, it shows me what to do, but those options are not available any more on my windows 10 settings. The fact my screen keeps auto adjusting as well as keeping the font so very very tiny, I'm having a very very hard time using my laptop now. The previous update since this latest one, I had to hook my laptop up to an external monitor to actually use it. Right now, I'm here so I don't need the monitor, I can make the font larger. But on the laptops screen, etc, etc, etc, everything is micro, the icons, the fonts, etc, etc. There's literally no changing them now.

I am at my wits end. I can still cont + to make my web fonts larger while on web, but my toolbar, everything, the fonts so tiny, it's literally insanity.

Does anyone have any idea, what's up with this? Sorry about the topics and subtopics, I can't find the display topic in the slider. So I'm picking windows and general. If this is the wrong topic area, sorry, I can't find the proper avenues. WIndows, wow, I'm done if this is the state of it all.
