Unable to adjust brightness

Hi Prasad,

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

1. When you state "display buttons are not working" what do you exactly mean?

This issue could have occurred due to these reasons.

• Incorrect settings.
• Corrupt or outdated display driver.

For now, I suggest that you follow the methods stated below and check if it helps

Method 1:

I suggest you to download and install all the available Windows Updates including Optional Updates. Check if it helps.

Method 2:

If the issue persists, I suggest you to uninstall and re-install latest display driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.

Step 1: Uninstall display driver.

• Right-click on the Start Button and click on
  Device manager.
• Double-click on Display Adapters to expand.
• Right-click on the display adapter driver that is listed and select properties.
