    Missing Adjust Screen Brightness slider in Power Options

    My HP laptop performed a Windows Update today. As a result, I've lost my "Adjust Screen Brightness" slider in Power Options. I can still find it in Settings - Display.

    I have Win 10. I've found a YouTube video (specifically for Win 7) that suggests going to Device Manager - Monitors - Properties - Uninstall Device, but I've also read that doing so will merely result in the same driver being reinstalled.

    What should I do to get the "Adjust Screen Brightness" slider back in Power Options?

    Thanks so much for your help.

  3. Brightness slider or control cannot be found.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand your query related to Brightness slider missing on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
    2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
    3. What is the exact model of the PC?


    Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



    Starting with Windows 10 1903 build Brightness slider was introduced in Action Center. However, if you are using an older version of Windows 10 then you might not be able to find the slider on Action Center. I would suggest you to check and install
    all the necessary updates for you system. Refer the article
    Keep your PC up to date




    However, if you are using Windows 10 1903 and the Brightness slider is missing then I would suggest you to try updating the display drivers and see if that helps. Refer the article

    Update drivers in Windows 10
    .



    Additionally, you can refer the article

    Let us know if you have any concerns, we will be glad to assist you.

    Windows 10 - Screen brightness - Please bring the slider back

    Hello Microsoft,

    Please bring back the brightness slider and the volume sliders from the charms menu (slide from right). These were the features which were hugely useful and they are missing now. The stepped brightness setting is OK. But, we need the slider.
