Can’t Change Display Brightness on Windows 10

If after upgrading to Windows 10 you can’t change your display brightness (the option may be missing in Settings/Display), this may be your fix.

  1. Right-Click the Start button and select Device Manager
  2. Expand the Monitors section
  3. Right-click on Generic PnP Monitor and click on Enable

After fighting to find the latest video drivers (HP hasn’t re990leased Win 10 drivers for my Pavilion), this fixed my issue.
