After the upgrade, users are not able to increase or decrease the screen brightness on Windows 10.

This is a major issue as users on Laptop cannot change the brightness and as a result the battery might be low. So how to fix the screen brightness issue on Windows 10. Here are two solutions for the issue.

    When I tried to fix it using the first option, it did not work. I tried the second one but when I tried to update the Windows 10 basic, I got a code 31 and saying that it was unable to update it. Any other ideas?

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was getting a suntan sitting in front of this bright monitor–on my eyes! Solution 2 worked for me.
