Windows 10: Windows 10 version 1809 resets brightness after a reboot? A fix is coming

Microsoft shipped Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) on October 2 but it was pulled shortly after its release. It turns out that there is another bug in the OS that resets brightness after a reboot on some systems but Microsoft has already figured out a fix.

After upgrading to Windows 10 October 2018 Update, some users are reporting that the brightness level is reduced after reach reboot and changing the brightness setting manually makes absolutely no difference as the level is automatically reduced after the computer restarts.

According to a thread on Reddit, there are some users experiencing this problem. Another thread indicates a similar problem on Windows 10 October 2018 Update. There is also a thread on Microsoft answers forum documenting the problem.

It appears that the brightness control is completely broken on Microsoft Surface Go for some users. According to a Reddit post, the October update has disabled the ability to adjust brightness manually on Microsoft Surface Go.

“Following the October update, I can no-longer control the screen brightness on my Go either through software or through the hardware keys on the keyboard. The hardware keys indicate that the brightness on the screen is going up and down, but it is having no effect on the luminosity of the screen,” a Reddit user explains.

I've been generally happy with Windows 10 feature updates, but this one has been a disaster on the Surface Go. Brightness is broken, battery drains in standby (no indication of why in "powercfg /sleepstudy"). Time to and attempt rollback, I think.

The fix is arriving soon


Microsoft yesterday released Windows 10 19H1 Build 18262 to Insiders with a fix for the brightness bug. It’s likely that Microsoft will now also fix the bug in Windows 10 October 2018 Update soon before the public rollout.

“We fixed an issue resulting in the brightness sometimes resetting to 50% after a reboot,” Microsoft explains in the release notes of Build 18262.

Brightness resets after reboot

Hi Marc,

In addition to the troubleshooting step that you have already done, we suggest that you try disabling the adaptive brightness from your PC. Follow the steps below and see if it resolves the issue:

• From the Search bar, type Power Options.
• Click Power Options from the result. Under Preferred plans, click
  Change plan settings.
• Click Change advanced power settings and select Enable adaptive brightness to turn it
  ON or OFF.

After saving the changes, restart your PC and check if issue still occurs.

Let us know how it went.

WMP for version 1809...


My Windows 10 N, version 1803 had used Windows Media Player via installing it from the "Windows_MediaFeaturePack_x64_1803.msu" file.

Updating to 1809 removed the WMP and no longer available in the apps list:





There's an updated version listed at:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ows-n-editions

But clicking on the link and looking for the 1809 in the drop down list of versions does not show the media feature pack available for download for 1809; instead it shows version 1709 and 1803.

Does anyone have a direct link to WMP for Windows 10 N, version 1809?

TIA...
