gmm Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The ability to change brightness on My MSI Notebook with Windows 10 has mysteriously vanished. I used to use the FN+ brightness keys up and down to make adjustments, but it stopped working, yet strangely, the FN+volume buttons still work. When I go to Settings>Display, it's not there either. I've tried everything I can think of? Any ideas of what happened or how I can fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmm Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Also, my sleep function has vanished too. Now I only have the options of shutdown and restart. I can put it to sleep with a quick push of the power button, but the option has vanished from the start panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishayin Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Did the video driver get updated by any chance? That's what broke my brightness control... Had to do a system restore to fix it. The loss of sleep option is extra weird though.. Does it still appear in the menu that appears when you go to desktop and press Alt-F4 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmm Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 Thank you for the reply. I'm not certain whether it coincided with any video update, but it's a clue. Pressing ALT-F4 results in a menu opening with options to: Switch user, sign out, shutdown, and restart. There is no sleep option. I will perhaps try system restore.

gmm Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 Some good news. An automatic Windows update resolved the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassowen Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Does your laptop have a mux switch? When I change modes with that, funny events tend to happen, and losing brightness control has been one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
