Cannot adjust the brightness after installing Windows 10

Hello. I have a Dell XPS 15 L521X.   Recently updated to Windows 10 and I can adjust is no longer my brightness upwards or downwards.

Now the screen is quite low.  I'd say about 30-40% brightness.  10 widows I found about 5 different places to adjust your brightness and I made sure all of them have been set to 100%.  I have my power plan to high performance and I went into advanced settings and turned off Adaptive brightness and made sure that the brightness of the screen the two Dim brightness set to 100% on battery & are plugged.  Rebooted and still dim.

My question is, on Dell laptops, Windows has full access to the brightness control?  Or Dell replaces Windows with their software customized for the display settings?   When I bought this laptop in 2012, the software, at the time, was called Dell QuickSet.  What is the responsible application of brightness of the screen control?  And is it necessary?

Thank you

Mike

I am also having this same problem. My brightness has been set at max after update and it hurts my eyes. I did it... Control Panel > Device Manager > graphics cards > Intel HD Graphics 4000 > pilot > Update Driver > Browse my computer > let me pick. Choose Microsoft Basic graphics card.

After doing this, my problem was solved, and I was able to adjust the brightness of my screen again. BUT if you play games on your laptop, it will cause display problems in your game.

  • Cannot adjust the brightness after display driver update on Satellite L855-118

    Hello.

    I just bought a SATELLITE L855-118, with ATI graphics card today, it was between this and another of them, but I know that you have problems updating graphics drivers on a portable Sony.

    I did a restore point.

    So I uninstalled the ATI catalyst graphics card and then did a sweeper driver and rebooted and then installed catalyst 12.6, installed fine, but my screen went to the maximum brightness and I can't adjust, BRIGHTNESS osd is displayed but the brightness of the screen does not change.

    So I used my restore point.

    This time I crushed the catalyst 8.9 with 12.6 stock, still cannot adjust the brightness.

    Someone knows how to solve this problem.

  • Cannot use the mouse after installing windows 7

    Original title: mouse W7 disorders linux Instalation

    Hello

    so I had linux on my computer, but now I myself bought a treat - W7 Home premium 64-bit. So I had wiped the hard disks and clean. Everything worked before (on linux), but while I was installing W7 something must have gone wrong - I couldn t move the mouse , from the moment of the instalation was started - so I thought maybe it s a few pilot missing, but now (after completing the instalation) I ve tried four or five mouse (usb, ps2, usb wireless), but none of them work. I did remember to restart with the mouse still connected. I also tried a different usb port, restart the pc and not even a simple memory card is able to load... and then I thought to try the live CD (it was linux yet) and the mouse works - so tell me, where could be the problem? It seems that there is something wrong with the windows software, but I Don t have an idea what is...

    the keyboard works very well (thankfully), that the screen resolution is still correct ;)

    thx for any helpful answer :)

    Hi again once, thank you so :)

    After confirming that it s probably related to drivers, I found a driver CD for my motherboard (I built the computer at home with parts) and learned how to use "mouse keys" and managed to install a few drivers - after restarting the pc, (after some time) everything went very well-> the PC works great now.

    The greatest difficulty before was that I was luckily able to use the "mouse keys" and he kept breaking the feet,, I thought that it s associated with the mouse, but it was just my incompetence :D (I forgot to keep alt + shift)

    Thank you so much, again :)

  • Cannot adjust the brightness of the screen after the new installation of Windows 7

    I have a Pavilion dv2945se notebook. I have completely updated the Nvidia geforce 7150 m drivers. My laptop came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I did a new install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I can't adjust the brightness of the display. I narrowed down the problem to the generic PnP Monitor driver. How can I solve this problem?

    Edit: I mean "impossible to adjust the brightness of the display" that every time I go into power options and trying to use the cursor, Windows Explorer crashes. Also, my fn + F7 and F8 keys light work before I connect to windows, but not after. I think that something will charge when I connect to windows that is causing the problem. So I went in Mode safe, but then all that allows to control the brightness has not loaded when I went into safe mode, which was not helpful. I also went into MSConfig and disabled all startup programs, but again, I have the same problem. The brightness of the keys work before connect you to Windows, but not thereafter.

    When I turn off the device generic PnP monitor (1) can't adjust the brightness at all and (2) the Power Options window stops freezing. That's how I've narrowed the problem to the generic PnP Monitor driver.

    I finally solved this by uninstalling the driver for the ALPS touchpad. Because there are no Windows 7 drivers for my laptop even though it is listed in the models capable of upgrading to Windows 7, I used Windows Vista touchpad drivers. It was the cause of my problem with brightness adjustment. I don't know why it worked, but I've narrowed it down by disabling all processes start and then from their one at a time to see what caused the problem. As soon as I started Apoint.exe, I started to have problems.

    Now, I just have to find a way to disable the touchpad tapping without the ALPS drivers.

    Hello:

    There are two Intel driver links to the choices on your laptop support page.

    I explored the folder of the driver of this driver file to support your laptop and driver page, and it is suitable to use driver.

    This package provides the driver that allows graphics Intel high definition (HD) in the notebook models that are running an operating system supported. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

    File name: sp69589.exe

    The hardware ID for the Intel graphics card in your laptop must be one of these...

    ;=====================================================================
    ;    Windows 8.1 install
    ;=====================================================================
    [IntelGfx.NTamd64.6.3]

    % iVLVGMT0% = iVLV2M_w81, PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_0F31 & SUBSYS_220F103C

    You should see a device from Intel HD graphics instead of the graphics card base of Microsoft, and unless you can get the graphics driver to install you will not be able to adjust the brightness of the screen.

    Is the above driver do not install the Intel graphics card automatically, try to install the driver manually by navigating to the folder of the driver that is created after running the above file.

    Confirm that the hardware for the Intel graphics card ID matches one of the above since the driver installation information file that I posted.

    To find the ID of the hardware, Device Manager, click the graphics card Microsoft Basic.

    Then click on the Details tab in the upper part of the window Microsoft Basic graphics card.

    Now you should see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

    On this list and select the 3rd point (Hardware ID).

    Confirm that the hardware ID, you see there is one of those listed that I posted.

    Hello my f11 and f12 keys is no longer adjust my brightness. The gauge up and down, but does not change the brightness. I tried to update the graphics card in Device Manager, but he says that it is up-to-date. Same thing with 'Generic PNP Monitor' said that it is up-to-date. I wiped the computer clean and 'reset' and reinstalled windows and it still does not allow me to adjust the brightness of the screen

    I'm not incredibly intuitive with computers, but I followed the instructions as much as I could find during my research online with nothing doesn't.

    Initially, the problem occurred when I used out of ignorance a program to install the drivers it says have been exceeded. After that, my audio stop working and my keyboard stop working entirely. After resetting the computer and windows resettled, the only question that remains is the brightness of the screen not being able to be adjusted.

    This drives me crazy, can anyone help me? I would be very happy! and please let me know if you need more information regarding my laptop. Thank you!!

  • Qosmio G30-140 - cannot adjust the brightness of the screen on Windows 7

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 on my Qosmio G30-140, but I can't adjust the brightness settings.
    Instead of allowing me to place the cursor on any position, I want that I'm stuck with only 3 steps which elect to.
    The last of them is way to bright and my eyes keep tear having to deal with this crazy amount of white, especially on white background.
    The other two are very, very dark.
    What is going on? I installed the right Nvidia drivers.
    Also, I can't adjust the brightness using the FN keys on my keyboard. They simply produce no result at all.

    Need help appreciated, I can't work like this.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The brightness of the display can be controlled by the FN + F7 and Fn + F6.
    I think you should install the VAP and buttons of the Support of Flash memory card utility in order to get this to work!

    In my case it worked!

  • Windows 7, cannot adjust the brightness of the screen.

    I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 on my laptop Acer Timeline 5810. Now I find that I can't adjust the brightness of the screen by pressing the "Fn" and arrows. I used to use this function a lot and my screen doesn't seem as bright as it did before installing 7.

    I can fix by going to control panel > display > brightness etc, but I would prefer if my normal keys were working.

    Any ideas, anyone?

    It is a function of the keyboard drivers custom on all laptop computers the most. HP called launch fast, not sure of Acer.

    You must log in to the Acer website, search for your model and see if they have a keyboard driver for your model laptop for Windows 7

  • Satellite L500 - cannot adjust the brightness of the screen

    I have a L500 - came out with Windows 7. I can't also adjust the brightness - the external monitor is fine. 17 other laptops in the same school are fine - just this one.
    The FN key doesn't seem to work - the laptop screen is so dark, that it is not readable.

    I didn't know all the answers that respond to that?

    Hi redmg,

    The FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. So if you can use t FN keys correctly reinstall these two tools of Toshiba. You can download on the official page of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But remove older versions before installing the new versions.

    After that all FN keys should work properly again.
