AN517-52 Revert to Factory Windwos and no control over brightness

Hi!

I recently had to hard reset my AN517-52 and now I've reinstalled Windows 11, but I have run into multiple Problems like Bluetooth drivers missing (fixed), generally really low framerate in Chrome, Windows and etc. (haven't tried gaming yet), no control over brightness (neither a slider nor the fn + right/ left), and it shutting down when I close the lid or press fn + f4 (have tried to change it in the power options).

I was wondering if anyone here knew the solutions to the latter problems or knew how to reset the Laptop to the Windows it came preinstalled with.

You can install Intel Vga driver but for nvidia you need to download It from below site-

Note- Runnning Windows update will automatically install all driver. It will also install nvidia driver. But it may be old one so you need to clean Uninstall using ddu and get new one from nvidia website

When you do a Microsoft Win-11 23H2 version clean install you need to also make sure that all the windows updates are done and install the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant scan so that all Intel drivers are up to date and then install the NVidia GeForce Experience software that is also a scanner that keeps your NVidia graphics driver up to date and make sure that all new NVidia drivers you use the Custom Install > Clean Installation so that all previous drivers are deleted, as and also the NVidia GFE software also has the ultimate settings for over 1500 games, afterwards make sure that the last bios version 2.08 and firmware version v101a is updated.

Finally and if you do allot of high end gaming and editing, make sure that you run this laptop on 32GB (2x 16GB DDR4-3200MHz CL22 type ram) and you upgrade to a quick PCIe3x4 boot drives like the Samsung 970 EVO NVMe or the WD SN750 Black M.2 SSD drives. Do all this and your Nitro AN517-52 will operate at its peak performance. Good luck and hope this helps you out some more.
