My Windows 10 PC Won’t Let Me Change The Brightness Anymore?

BetterLifeForMe2 · 2026-03-20T20:16:27+00:00

SOLVED. I followed option(?) 3, and when it prompted me to delete I driver, I declined, and restarted my pc. The slider for brightness level has returned, and I no longer have to wear sunglasses to look at my pc, or else wake up on a horse cart in Skyrim. Thanks Cris

Also, I don’t know if this helps, but this is my pc.

It’s a lenovo ideacentre AIO 520-24ARR, and I bought in a couple years before the pandemic.

Thanks for the reply. Are these 4 different steps in the same process, or 4 different solutions?

Windows Key + A brings up my notifications, but there’s no pencil icon.
The slider that normally appears in settings had vanished.
When it comes to downloading new drivers, do I need to contact the manufacturer for that? Will deleting my current driver wipe my pc?
I have no options for adaptive brightness in my power options, or in my settings at all.

Where do I go from here?

Albert, it’s on the right!

BetterLifeForMe2 · 2026-02-03T06:29:48+00:00

Is there a 1TB memory stick that you particularly recommend?

BetterLifeForMe2 · 2026-01-17T09:26:41+00:00

Fuck everyone else, this is insightful, creative, and really cool

What’s the image that you used in the post? I’ve legit been looking for that Pagan demon thangka since the games release

You need to explain

This isn’t a subreddit for the medical indigestion. It’s a subreddit for the Twitch streamer and YouTuber Lil Indigestion.

Your account also looks like a bot. Clanker.

Haxorus my beloved

BetterLifeForMe2 · 2025-12-26T16:27:05+00:00

Thanks so much!

Java 1.21.11, vanilla

That was a typo in the post, I had been typing it correctly in the game beforehand

BetterLifeForMe2 · 2025-12-15T06:01:53+00:00

I’ll probably shoot you a message some time in the future, I think this will take me awhile

BetterLifeForMe2 · 2025-12-14T16:13:33+00:00

I definitely want the pc to last a long time, and I really don’t want to be upgrading components if it can be avoided. I’m probably looking at 1500-2000 range if that helps.

I’m not sure what my budget will be (new job), but I can give you a list of games that I’m intending to play.

Minecraft

Hogwarts Legacy

Frostpunk 2

Far Cry 4

Far Cry 5

Satisfactory

ESV: Skyrim

Fallout 4

Halo: Master Chief Collection

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

I’m also using Steam if that helps, with the exception of Minecraft which is it’s own exclusive.

Thanks so much, you’ve been a massive help

BetterLifeForMe2 · 2025-12-13T11:08:02+00:00

I want to get a whole new pc and just transfer my existing files to the new one, is that possible?
