Unable to set brightness level for Plugged in and on battery

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to set brightness level for plugged in and on battery.



I would like to inform you that the brightness slider to adjust brightness separately was removed from Windows 10 starting from the build version 1903. The screen brightness can be adjusted using the slider from the Notification center.



Ideally, the brightness slider will allow a user to adjust the display brightness, and that brightness will be remembered as the preferred brightness whether the laptop is on battery or connected to a charger.



However, as you have mentioned that after an update the feature is not working, we would like to know the update that was installed recently. To check go to
Start >> Settings >> Update & Security >> Windows Update >> View update history.



We would also like to know the build version of Windows installed on the computer currently. To check type: winver in the
search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try updating the display drivers and check if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Display adapters.
   
3. Right click on the display
   device and select Update Driver.
   

Article for reference:
Update drivers in Windows 10.



For additional information, see

Let us know how it goes.

No volume bar when changing volume level and changing brightness causing lag

Hi Trawel,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

The option for brightness and volume indicator will automatically show on the Windows graphical user interface.

If you face the issue with volume and brightness indicator settings, it may have caused because you are using the ASUS system utilities. I suggest you to open the ASUS system utilities and disable the volume and brightness
indicator and any other Windows related functionality. It is better to disable the ASUS system utility temporarily and check if it is the cause to the issue.

Please be informed that Microsoft has changed level for volume to show as
horizontal level bar not as vertical bar in Windows 10. Click "speaker icon" on taskbar and volume level will appear.
I hope the above information helps.

Kindly try the below steps to repair any corrupted files of Windows components and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, select the
  command prompt (admin).
  
• 
  Type the following commands one by one and hit Enter key.
  
  Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  Sfc /scannow
  

Note: If you are not able to repair some files after performing SFC scan, I suggest you to refer to the point 3 “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details
are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log”. Under the section “Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)”
to repair the corrupted files after performing SFC scan.
