  2. 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! -

    Windows 10 - screen brightness issues

    Since upgrading to Windows 10 I am having problems with the brightness on my Sony Vaio laptop. It keeps dropping to the lowest setting, meaning that the screen is constantly dark and when I change the settings to increase brightness, it only stays bright
    for a minute or two and then it returns to the lowest setting. I have been through all the settings on my machine and my drivers are up to date. I just can't find a solution to the problem. Any suggestions?
