For the Fn + F5 (its F5 on my computer, might be different on yours) to change the brightness you have to have the Samsung "Easy Display Manager" installed. Check to see that the program is still installed. If its not installed goto the Samsung website look up the model of your computer and it will display all the software dowloads that were pre-installed on your model of PC, if you need to you can download the "Easy display manager" again, once installed reboot you system and Fn + F5 should work again.

I am not sure I fixed everything, but I am finally able to adjust my brightness. I used my model number, NP88OZ5E and went to the Samsung website. I downloaded SW update and used it to download a myriad of new drivers and updates. It took quite a while. I still can't use my Fn keys to adjust brightness (I am missing that "easy display manager" program you referred to and I can't figure out how to find it, though I looked), but it works now when I use the control panel to adjust brightness now.

Thanks for all the help with what I am sure is normally very basic stuff. I feel a little smarter now at least. If you have any more suggestions for me, I am happy to hear them. If not, then thanks again.

I have a Samsung N210 Plus laptop which developed the same problem you were having,no brightness control. This happened a few years ago. The LCD display was on full brightness all of the time, which made using it uncomfotable on my eyes. This appears to be an issue with Samsung. The problem started just after the guarantee had expired. I also tried all different ways to sort the problem out, nothing worked. I contacted Samsung and spent over half an hour on the telephone, with a technician. We got the brightness control working. Next time I switched on the laptop it had gone back to full brightness with no conrol. I stopped using the laptop until I found out about f.lux. This program auto adjusts the brightness, you can also manually adjust the brightness with ( Alt-PageUp or Alt-Page Down).

My problem was the same: all Fn buttons had worked fine, except brightness buttons. All the same I was not able to change the brightness in windows control panel (brightness adjustment was missing) and in samsung control center (nothing happened when moved the brightness adjustment).

Check programs that can "override" your screen. My problem was TeamViewer 13. Don't know how TeamViewer had been overriding brightness settings, but when I had deleted it, Fn-buttons for brightness were on.

I have a new Laptop Hp Mod 15-da0014dx, is there a way to adjust screen brightness? My last 2010 Hp laptop I adjusted the brightness from those two star icons on the top left, on this new laptop they dont work.

If the above doesn't work, please uninstall the drivers and restart the computer for it to automatically reinstall the same, and then update the drivers using the HP website:
Click here to find and install the updates for BIOS, Chipset and graphics card drivers.

Nothing worked to adjust screen brightness, just dont understand why something so simple has to be so complicated. I managed to get one picture on here when I first go to settings taken with my phone, the other pictures I wanted to show but for some reason this site wont download them because files are to big and I dont how to make the picture files smaller.

I did what you said but nothings working, still cant adjust screen brightness, after going through all that clicking the last thing on the screen says>>>"The best drivers for your device are already installed", That ofter link you sent might take me in over my head, not sure if I can figure that out. thanks for trying to help.

Restart the pc when done and it should automatically reinstall the drivers, this should resolve the issue if it doesn't, the best way to install the drivers since the last link seemed complicated is to install the HP Support Assistant: Click here for details.

Finally I found this video on Youtube tonight, the poor mans coleage school, from 0-:55 is what worked for me. I spent the last 5 nights or about 12 hours trying to find and or figure this adjusting screen brightness out, 12 hours for :55 seconds to solve a problem, now the star icons on the top left of my key board are working and I now have the brightness bar in the settings.

I have a Samsung Ativ Book 6 NP680Z5E-X02US and recently updated to Windows 10. It uses Intel HD 4000 Graphics and has and AMD Radeon 8770M graphics card. Since updating I am no longer able to adjust screen brightness.

I have tried uninstalling the monitor and restarting. Updating all the graphics drivers. Disabling/Enabling the generic PnP monitor in device manager. Changed all of the power settings. The monitor still stays at what seems to be 100% brightness.

I recently updated W10 to anniversary edition and ran into this issue yet again. I have no idea how I was able to resolve it last time. I attempted to uninstall, and reinstall all drivers from Samsung over again, in various orders, running the Win10 Brightness Control Patch each time provided by Samsung Update, but in each case, never yielded results. I should also note that I've also disabled adaptive brightness in display options and also my power options plan. This was required the first time I got this working so I made sure those settings were changed back after the update reverted them.

There are other "control sets" other than the CurrentControlSet. I wound up changing them all to f008 prior to a reboot. Though I suspect the CurrentControlSet is all you will need.

I have a similar model NP680Z5E-X03US. Brightness control is completely unavailable using any version of either the Intel or Radeon display drivers. Neither keyboard control, system settings, display control, nor any other kind of brightness control will work.

Solved the issue. You need to install Samsung Settings VERSION 3.1To find this you will have to use samsung update and search in other models drivers and programs list. Mine Ativ 6 is XD1BR and I used the Samsung Settings softwre found in XF3BR list.

You can try [alt] + [fn] + [f4] which I found in Easy Display Manager's Option window. I didn't know what would happen but the screen cycled through various appearances and suddenly the [fn] + brightness buttons worked like a charm!

There are different ways to adjust the screen brightness in Windows 10 and 11. You can either adjust the brightness yourself in the operating system, have the brightness adjusted automatically, or change the brightness directly on the external screen.

The Action Center is a quick way of accessing various settings, including the screen brightness settings. Windows 10 and Windows 11 both have these options, although the terms they use are slightly different.

Some computer models have an integrated light sensor, which enables the screen brightness to adjust automatically to changing light conditions. It can also be found in the system settings.

The night mode in Windows also offers automatic adjustment. However, instead of using the actual lighting conditions to adjust the screen brightness, it works depending on the time of day. Users can either set a period for warmer lighting themselves or use sunrise and sunset times. Windows is already aware of these times.

Depending on how bright or dark the content of my Photoshop file is, my screen (laptop running Windows 10) will get brighter or darker. This is especially noticeable when I zoom in or out on an image. Never had this before on previous laptops.

I have a new Dell XPS with Windows 10 pro. It is so annoying, I disabled the Windows auto brightness adjust but it keeps changing. For me it is most noticable if I am zoomed out and I just move my mouse outside my workspaces.

Symptom is that brightness does not increase or decrease when adjusting the setting using the FN Key + F9/F10 which are the designated buttons to adjust. There is also no change when I unplug from power outlett (which in theory should make the screen brightness come down).

I have installed the latest bio, and have tried looking for new software/drivers, but to no avail... I simply can't reduce the brightness (and it's quite bright - to the point it is uncomfortable to use at night).

Additionally, you can also adjust the brightness settings from within Windows. You can do this by opening Power Options from the Control Panel. Here are the instructions for doing so, straight from Microsoft:

This worked like a charm! It did require an additional update that I was easily able to install from Windows 10 updates by following the on screen prompts. One note, the link above took me to a generic customer support page. The link below is to the drivers page where I found the HP Hotkey Support driver under Driver-Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices. ALso, this driver update requires a reboot. The second update prompt came up after reboot on my Windows 10 HP Folio EliteBook 9470m. The second update did not require a reboot.

Hello everyone. Long time HP user here but first time poster. I've looked through every corner of the web for a solution to this issue but I could not find one. I have an Omen gaming laptop, model I7-CB1002CA. Everything works flawlessly except for the two function keys (F1+F2) to change the brightness of the internal display (it's stuck on what I believe is max brightness). I've already updated the BIOS and every other driver direct from HP's support page for this laptop and installed all windows updates but the issue persists. When I got the laptop I immediately upgraded the M.2 SSD to a larger capacity and re-installed Windows so I can't tell you if the keys worked when I first got it. If anyone can point me in the direction to a solution for this issue I would be forever grateful. It's not too bad during the day, but at night the screen is way to bright. Thank you!
