Hello!

I tried in different ways to lower the screen brightness both with fn keys and in power managment. Also I tried with few third-party-apps.

Same problem with Win7 and Win8.

I tried with original drivers and with upated one's.

When I am using my computer in dark it's a very difficult experience for the eyes.

Thank you...

Tom

    vmd108,

     

    You should be able to adjust the brightness by holding the FN key and pressing the right and left arrow key, as stated in your thread. Also, as you stated, there is an option to adjust the brightness in the power options screen.

     

    If those settings, when used, do not alter the brightness of the display, it sounds like something was installed, removed, or changed that is preventing it. When did this issue start occurring, after something was updated or removed?

     

    If it just started happening recently, you can preform a system restore and take the system back to when it worked right and go forward from there. If needed, you can reload the system to factory defaults to ensure it works properly. Some users do remove certain preloaded programs that interact with other functions on the computer and features stop working correctly, but adjusting the brightness in the power options screen is something built in to Windows itself.
