    I've somehow did something by accident to my computer as I'd bumped my keyboard wrong, and now my computer is shading one screen somewhat that doesn't have an active window. And I'm not at all sure what keys I'd bumped. This is becoming quickly frustrating, as I am very sure I prefer both my screens with full brightness. Does anyone know how to undo whatever function I've accidentally activated?

    Edit: I'm fairly sure it was some accidental hot key combination that's reducing the brightness on the other screen. It happened as I slipped from my chair and just grabbed wildly for something to keep me from falling. Does anyone know what's reducing the brightness on my screen? when I click on a window on the darkened screen, it becomes fully illuminated and the other screen becomes darkened so that it's only half bright. So to clarify what's actually happening to it.
    (And to save some people time, I did try rebooting too, and it didn't fix the issue.)

    [I've finally gotten help from another chat help me figure out what it was. It was the function of another application that had somehow been activated within Display fusion. I've managed disable the screen fade that was affecting my screens. I hope others who got this crazy problem will be helped by this at least.]

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Screen wont rotate with hotkeys?


    Hi,i have a hp laptop running Win 10.I recently found out that Screen Rotation with hotkeys(Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Keys)is not working any more.It used to rotate earlier..even after installing Win 10.In my Graphic properties,the hotkeys option is enabled.But in my Intel HD Graphics control panel,Under the hotkeys section,where the list of other hotkeys is viewed,the options for the screen rotation is no where to be found.It used to work earlier.But now its gone.I can rotate my screen in settings>Display by manually selecting the the options,but the Hotkeys are not working no more.Any ideas??Thanks..

    shaded laptop screen

    Thanks for response. Tried but not helping. In fact the shaded bottom area has moved from 1/3 of screen to half the screen. Frustrating because this is a new laptop, only got it a few days ago!
