Screen Brightness

[FSyur]

The update of Intel Corporation - Display - 26.20.100.7262 made me unable to adjust my screen brightness

Faulty configuration (Dell Vostro 3580)

I5 8265U

When using the Intel generic driver, you loose customizations made by Dell for THEIR hardware.

Install the latest driver supplied by Dell and see if the brightness controls return.

If I install the Dell driver, I can adjust the brightness, but Dell doesn't provide the latest version because the Windows Update object keeps updating itself.

[AlHill]

Well, you have a couple of choices:

1. Complain loudly to dell, which will not accomplish anything
2. Use the dell driver, and block the install of drivers from Windows Update
3. Use the dell driver, and block that specific driver from updating
4. Use the intel driver, and the brightness adjust in Windows

The fourth option is not feasible and I want to make the second option can you guide me

You may download from Microsoft Store the Intel Graphics Control Panel and use it like in the old driver. After installation you will find it in the Start menu, under letter "I"

Blocking driver updates in Windows is not something we support. However, you can use the procedure defined here:

Can I block that update alone

[AlHill]

Yes, but it requires some skill with this difficult Microsoft tool:

If the brightness bar is missing, go to control panel, device manager, monitor, PNP monitor, driver tab and click enable. Then go back to settings - display and look for the brightness bar and adjust. ... Expand 'Display Adapters'. Right-click on the Display Adapter listed and click on 'Update Driver Software'.
