What make and model monitor?

I'm on windows version 1803

And I'm on a laptop

Make and model laptop?

Try "WIN" + "I" (meaning press the Windows flag key and the 'I' key together) > Ease of Access (select) and find Display.

You should find some controls for screen brightness.

I have a Sager NP7871 NOTEBOOK
Link to it: https://www.sagernotebook.com/Notebook-NP7871.html


Also when I go into the Ease of Access then into display, nothing there shows changing brightness.

Here is a picture of the display settings: http://prntscr.com/kpaho9
" change brightness or use nightlight" doesn't work.
" Addition display settings" doesn't work...

Find the Sager Laptop's User Manual via the link you provided. (Scroll to bottom.)

Look in the User Manual for other possible brightness control settings.

Yes I know, it is fn + F8 and F9
But it isn't working because of this new stupid update...

 

[justincerrato00]

any other help?

Not sure what to suggest:

Keep monitoring Sager's FAQ's and Forums.

Contact them.

May be some bug that just has not been figured out to date or the fix is still being tested.

In the meantime, someone else may discover and post a solution.

But its a problem with windows because this wasn't a problem before...
And there isn't even an option to higher my brightness in the settings just like before...

Yes, Windows is stupid and can't keep their hands to themselves. They ignant. You have a 1060 in that laptop. Does M$ make it? Nope but they certainly will try and fix what doesn't need fixing. Nvidia makes it. Right click on your desktop and access the Nvidia Control Panel where you can manually change those settings.

Short answer? Update your Nvidia Driver. They(Windows) corrupted something with their (unnecessary)update.

It is not Microsoft but Sager to blame for that. They have to provide the updates once this laptop is sold with Win10

Sager is in the right for passing along Windows Updates. Windows is in the wrong for the condition of the update. In the end, that point(where the drivers originated) is moot. Either way it goes the update should be downloaded from Nvidia.

Thanks for that

Doesn't that have an Nvidia 1060 in there? I am glad that the driver update fixed the problem but you might be missing out on performance and RAM if you are using the CPU integrated GPU.

I would think there are two display adapters within that device manager list and you apparently are using the Intel GPU.

Yea I have intel HD graphics and a gtx 1060
But I think I'm fine cause I played a game yesterday ( PUBG and Fortnite ) and it was running smooth as always!

Thank you though
