Cannot adjust brightness in new Windows 10 Update

Bravo! This solved the problem with a very dark built-in display and weirdly working brightness F-button on my VAIO VPC Z21 after otherwise smoothly upgrading it to Windows 10 couple of days ago. Thank you!

Hi JacobRocks12!
BuFan is right about the official drivers and software update for Windows 10 operating System. Currently, Sony is testing Vaio computer to the new updates. It takes time since Sony needs to coordinate with certain vendors to validate those updates.
Please visit this page to see the details about Windows 10 update and Upgrade.

Cannot adjust brightness after display driver update on Satellite L855-118

Hi.
I just bought an SATELLITE L855-118 , with ATI graphics today, it was between this and another one, but i know you have problems updating graphic drivers on a Sony-notebooks.
I made a restore point.
So i uninstalled the ATI catalyst and then did an driver sweeper, and re-booted and then installed catalyst 12.6 , installed fine, but my screen went to maximum brightness and i cannot adjust it, the brighness osd appears but the screen brightness does not change.
So i used my restore point.
This time i overwrote the stock catalyst 8.9 with 12.6, just the same cannot adjust the brightness.
Does anybody know how to fix this.
My full spec in the link below.
Satellite L855-118 - Product Specifications - Toshiba
Thanks
John.

This is not going to help you, but I have details on the internals of brightness control on this machine.
On other notebooks I've worked with, the hotkeys generated an event that was directly handled by the firmware (ACPI) that changed the brightness; this was done to avoid putting into the AMD video driver any system-dependent code.
On the L855 the ACPI does not really handle the notification, it just generates another event that is supposed to be handled by the video driver. For more technical details see:
[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.dri.devel/71255]
Now this is where it gets ugly: if brightness control is indeed system-dependent (e.g. you have to poke some random GPIO) then the AMD driver will never support it (it would have to know the details of each and every model in circulation).
The good news - at least for Linux users - is that AMD just published the specification of its ACPI interface:
[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.dri.devel/71697]
I've already done some experiments with it, keep an eye on the thread.
This may (or may not...) lead to a usable brightness control *for Linux*, but the same information *may* be used to create a similar driver for Windows.

SCCM2012R2-WSUS-"Install New Windows Update Software" message

I have set up WSUS. I have installed SUP on SCCM. I have created two collections; Available and Required, and split my computers between them
I have deployed various Software Update groups in batches of less-than-a-thousand to get me to the point where i can use ADRs from now on. I have created an ADR for October's updates to deploy to "Required". It downloads (though only directly from
MS - cant get it to just use the WSUS folder but thats another issue) and from what i can see it deploys fine
I run Windows Update on my Test PC and Server and it says it's up to date. Great. Just to test though, i click on "Check for updates from Windows Update" and they both come back with "Install new Windows UPdate Software - To check for updates,
you must first install an update for Windows Update. Your automatic settings will not change"
So i install that update (direct from Microsoft) and Windows update closes and re-opens as it says it will.
I run another check for updates and they both say "Up to date". So i check from Windows update again since i have now installed this new update software that i would have thought my SUP WSUS would have installed)
Now from Microsoft's site they both have 45 important updates nad 35 optional updates available. What?? So i check these updates in the list and they are all in the October package. Why arent they available on my internal SUP/WSUS but they are available
from MS Update?

Hi,
That is the way it works, if you have selected to have the Software updates deployments visible they are visible in Software Center instead and there you can install the updates that is needed on a computer/server if you have deployed the updates to that
server as available first.
Yes it is possible to do, deploy all updates to a collection, create a query for that collection so that all members in that OU is automatically made members in the Collection.
then when a client is added to that OU the collection will be updated with that client as a member and the client will scan for updates and install the updates deployed to that Collection. It doesn't really matter in that case that the SCCM client does the
installation of the updates and not the WindowsUpdateAgent.
I hope that answered your question.

Cannot adjust brightness windows 8

Hi
Need some help with envy23 I have windowes 8 I cannot adjust the brighness
Please help
Thank you !

hi erin654,
Welcome to the Forums.
It's possible that one of the updates that got installed changed the display driver that controls the brightness functionality
Things that you can try:
1. Press the Windows logo key‌ +R and type devmgmt.msc. On the Device Manager, navigate to the Display Adapter (right click > choose Properties) and on the Driver Tab, check if the Rollback Driver is clickable If it is, do a rollback to restore the previous display driver and try to adjust the brightness
2. Navigate to the Control Panel > Programs and uninstall the display driver and reboot. Navigate to the D:\Drivers folder and locate the AMD Display driver installer or download and run the file below to re-install the display driver.
ATI Catalyst Install Manager (Chipset, AHCI, VGA)
Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)
Version: 8.982.7.1
After installing the driver, reboot the machine and try to adjust the brightness.
Alternatively, if you're pressing F11/F12 to adjust the brightness, try to open the ATI Control Manager and adjust the brightness settings there.

Cannot adjust brightness in windows 7 64bit

Hi everyone, thanks for reading!
I cannot adjust the brightness in windows 7 64bit with my keyboard. I have tried reinstalling the latest bootcamp drivers but it still did not work.
The brightness of the monitor is just too bright for my eyes...
Is there anyway I can fix this problem? I really appreciate yr help!
My computer is an mid 2011 27" iMac. It has a i5 CPU, originally 4GB ram but i added another 16GB ram to it.
Thanks for your help again!

is your problem that you can't adjust the brightness from some keyboard shortcut or that you can't adjust it by any means in windows?
I have the same generation imac just 21" model and the apple support hardware video card driver auto adjust the brightness for me if one don't use the apple driver and let windows install some generic amd video card driver that may not be the case
check the amd catalyst display settings for more info also about brightness

After updating to automatic firefox 10.0 I cannot use open in new window. Why ?

Tried to "open link in new window" on several sites after automatically updating to 10.0 . Windows links will not open in new window.

You may need to delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing the latest Firefox.<br />
In case you still have problems after installing then check your security software.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Cannot adjust brightness on win 8.1 x64(i have a WEIRD solution)

macbook pro 13' with retina display
win 8.1 x64
i cannot adjust the screen brightness
i turned off "adjust my screen brightness automatically".
i reinstalled boot camp.
i reinstalled the drivers of intel video card(5100).
the above solutions help nothing.
BUT, at last, i found a WEIRD solution to fix this issue:
1. adjust your screen resolution.
2. select an option of resolution(whatever you want, select an option casually).
3. click "Apply"
4. press ESC(cancel to change screen resolution)
5. now, adjusting screen brightness is AVAILABLE!
now, my question is: HOW TO FINALLY FIX THIS ISSUE?

I had a similar issue when I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on my last MacBook Pro. You know how Bootcamp downloads the support drivers for your machine? Those drivers are the instructions for the each component. I messed up a step on installing it and my secondary click wouldn't work, I couldn't adjust the brightness of the screen or keyboard, and I couldn't run games because the drivers didn't install correctly for my machine. You need a USB drive, an iSO Image, a blank DVD or CD with 4GB or more storage, a disk drive with read/write capabilities, and your Mac. If you have a desktop like the iMac or Mac mini, I believe you need a USB mouse and keyboard until the drivers are installed. Follow this video and in it there are two links, one for uTorrent and one for Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. If you don't have uTorrent, download it and install from the link. Ignore the link to the Windows 7 32-Bit download. I found a 64-bit version if you'd like or browse the piratebay for windows 8, but I highly suggest a 64-bit version as I believe they can handle more and do more compared to a 32-bit.

Error 80073712 new window updates

I was trying to run window- new updates and recieved error 80073712. I wanted to run new updates because that was one solution i-tunes suggested when I couldn't load i-tunes.

The issue is that the WUA 3.0 (7.0.6000.374) upgrade is corrupted,essentially the system reports the WUA to be 7.0.6000.374 but the files on the disk are still from the old version (you can check some of the DLLs like wups.dll, wuaueng.dll etc… in the windows\system32) … and you cannot install the WUA 3.0 even manually.
delete the following file
C:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml
Since Windows security will not allow you to do this, here under the procedure to take ownership of the file
run a command prompt with “Run as Administrator”.
Type in the following commands
takeown /f C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml
cacls C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml /G <YourUsername>:F
then delete the file and Reboot the machine
Reinstall the Windows Update Agent
save to the desktop, and run from an elevated command prompt, adding /wuforce to the end of the command

Probook 4540s- cannot adjust brightness

after installing windows 7 i cannot adjust my screen brightness.

You're very welcome.
There are two graphics drivers for your notebook -- AMD or Intel.
Whatever one you installed that gave that error, try installing the other one and see if that one works.
One of them should work.

Button- opens new window- updates original window

I have been going crazy with this one. I have created a row of jlabels based upon data in an object. at the end of the row is an edit button that opens a new window to edit the data. in the new window is a submit button. every thing almost works how i want it to. the data is updated but is not showing up again unless hit the edit button again (I think that the thread is just not finishing but it could be a logic error: I have an action listener nested in an action listener). I tried moving data update calls to inside the action performed area of submit edit but that only slowed label updating further. any ideas would be great.

hey zadok, I'll send the other 5 dukes to any response from you to this question and I won't harp on any answer. I am new to programming and have been studying for about 6-9 months on my own. This is really my first complete program that I am working on. I have read that getters and setter undermine the object oriented approach as per:
Why getter and setter methods are evil written by Allen Holub at javaworld.com
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2003/jw-0905-toolbox.html
am i overreading into it when I try to contain the problem into an object so that i don't have to write about a dozen getters and setters.

Safari 3 cannot run scripts in new window

The problem that I am encountering is that Safari cannot seem to run scripts in a new window. Whenever I click on a link, nothing happens. This occurs on sites like http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/share.html?videoid=0824hd_ccben209 (when I am trying to view the videos) and http://music.aol.com/radioguide/ (Trying to play the stations).
I'm not sure if it's a JavaScript issue or something. I have enabled Java, JavaScript and plug-ins in the preferences pane. I also tried disabling the pop-up blocker but that didn't seem to work. It usually works fine in Firefox (though the nbcolympics site insisted that I didn't meet the browser requirements, when I clearly did.) Sorry I can't provide you guys with much info, I don't know much about web stuff.
I am using Safari 3.1.2 on a 2GHz Macbook. Thanks loads

Yup the options are checked.

Cannot open folders in NEW WINDOW

Is anyone else having trouble with the Finder not opening folders in a new window? I have gone to Finder preferences, and unchecked the box for "Open Folders in a new tab..." But I still cannot open my folders in a new window. I have thousands of folders, and some are set to open in icon view, some in list view, etc. depending on the contents. But now all that has disappeared. Any suggestions???

As others have said.....first, go to Finder > Preferences and make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of new windows".
Any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down the Command Key while double-clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then a folder will open in a tab (which will probably resize the window and cause much aggravation and cursing).
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple double-click. (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to any folder on the Desktop, open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar. After that, all folders within that folder will open in a new window. I tried this with the Macintosh HD Folder (which I put on my Desktop) and all folders within it open in new windows with only a double-click.
Of course, you will lose the sidebar and the toolbar, so it's not a perfect solution, but at least you'll be done with tabs.

External links to sub projects cannot be displayed in new window

Hi
my question is: while putting hyperlinks to external topics ,
the options where you choose to open the links in 'New window' or
'pop up window' becomes inactive. deos this mean I cannot open
external links in new windows or pop ups????

Hi there Kathrin
I think you may be mistaken on this. Moments ago I tested to be certain. I have a CHM that successfully opens another CHM.
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.
Cheers... Rick

Cannot adjust brightness on R61 with Windows7

I installed windows7 build 7100 and then cannot adjust the monitor's brightness. Can some one help? Thanks.

Had the same issue with the installed driver. I upgraded to nVidia 190.15 (beta - modified by Guru3D ) and now works fine. In case you need WHQL, try the latest stable driver from the same site (modified inf to work on mobile/quadro cards)

27" ACD as second monitor -- cannot adjust brightness

I've connected a 27" LED ACD to my 27" iMac as a second monitor, but the keyboard commands for adjusting brightness do not affect the cinema display. I understand a common cause for this is that the USB isn't connected, but mine is and I can verify it is working because I have an external HD connected to the USB port of the ACD, and the iMac recognizes that it is connected.
Also, if I go into Display Preferences then I do see the Brightness slider for the second monitor. This is currently the only way I can adjust the brightness of that monitor.

True, Unless there's a shortcut for that, the only way to adjust the brightness of the second monitor is by using the display preferences . same here with a MBP / 27" display.
