mushakis Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) After upgrading to windows 8.1 from windows 8, I am facing this problem my screen is dimmed, I can not adjust the brightness with the slider from the power options windowI updated the graphic driver to the latest driver from the vendor amd ( radeon 3200)I searched the web for a solution but I couldn't find any working solution.After many trials and movement of slider to max and min some times it works but returned again to dimmed positon whenever I restart the pc.If I shut down the computer the brightness settings will remain when I power the pc.I even disabled the adaptive brightness sensor with no luck.Any one have any idea how to fix this proplem?

ThE iNsAnE Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 even i am facing a similar problem with brightness after upgrading to win 8.1. i can adjust the brightness using the control panel display option....BUT as soon as i press the brightness key in the keyboard, the brightness will reduce automatically even if i am increasing it...and will not increase using the keyboard keys...to increase the brightness, again i have to go to control panel display option...LOTS OF BUGS IN WIN 8.1...my graphic driver is also upto date...i guess maybe my VAIO hotkey driver may not be compatible with win 8.1...and SONY is not updating the drivers for my laptop model VPCEA45FG...

mushakis Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 It was working perfectly with windows 8 before upgrading to windows 8.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushakis Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 I am sure this problem is shared between the OS I mean windows 8.1 and the graphic cards vendors some where there is a conflict preventing the brightness slider from functining .Microsoft is aware of this problem and the graphic cards vendor also do.So we have to wait for the official release of 8.1 to see if MS will fix this.

LiLmEgZ Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Looks like the upgrade to Windows 8.1 is going to be shitty then for laptop users/owners :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezza Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) All works fine in my lappy ( Toshiba ), not one single problem since Win 8.1 installed. Edited October 6, 2013 by tezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushakis Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) I think the problem is with the graphic driver I will try to format and clean install windows 8.1 and see if that problem fixedSome of the graphic cards driver not working with windows 8.1 but this will be fixed when windows 8.1 officially releasedThe brightness adjustment is the only problem I am facing with windows 8.1 >> I have another laptop Acer 5220 and working fine with windows 8.1 not a single problem Edited October 6, 2013 by mushakis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushakis Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Well after formating and clean install of windows 8.1 and updating all system drivers .... I guess I was expecting good news but unfortunately no luck to get the brightness slider working as it should ...Just waiting for a fix from both MS and graphic card vender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
