Windows 10: No way to adjust brightness No option in display, via the sidebar, etc

[Please read the items in bold before responding]



So, I've been trying to adjust my brightness but there doesn't appear to be a way to do it.

1. The option in Settings -> Display is missing

2. The button in the side thingy is missing

3. Updating drivers has not fixed this or made any options available.

No way to adjust monitor brightness because there is no slider in power options

Hi Lenny,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps in adjusting the screen brightness.

• Click Cortana search at the taskbar.
• Type Calibrate display color in the Cortana search box, and click on same.
• Click Next on Display Color Calibration window.
• Click Next on Set basic color settings appears on the screen window.
• Similarly, you get another window How to adjust gamma and click Next button to continue.
• Adjust gamma window prompts. Set the gamma color settings by sliding up or down (as you prefer) the gamma sliders. When you drag the slider upward brightness of your desktop enhances and when pull it downward brightness decreases.
  This is the center step to adjust brightness so perform carefully. Press
  Next button.
• Then you will see the Find the brightness and contrast controls for your display. Tap on
  Skip brightness and contrast adjustment if you want to avoid the adjustment of brightness and contrast.
• Press on Next button until you get the window called How to adjust color balance.
• In the window “How to adjust color balance”, hit the Next button to go further window.
• Here, you will notice another window Adjust color balance. In this window, you have the option to adjust the primary colors like
  red, blue and green by sliding these (right or left) with mouse according to your need. After you optimize the colors press the
  Next button.
• Finally, click Finish button to save the current color calibration settings on your Windows 10 desktop.
