Dear Windows 11 Team,I am writing to report an issue that I have encountered after the latest Windows 11 Insider Program update. Specifically, I have noticed that the brightness controls on my device are not working properly. Despite my attempts to adjust the brightness settings, the screen remains at a constant level of brightness.Please let me know if there is any additional information or diagnostic reports that I can provide to help diagnose and fix this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Best regardsSyed Talha Hashmi

TalhaHashmi95 The same thing happened to me on 8 March 2023. My Surface Book 2 brightness does not change despite using the keyboard, and seeing the animation. Resetting the PC, removing both display drivers and replacing does not repair the problem.

This is the only thing preventing me from joining the Canary build. I had this problem too and had to do a clean install to fix it. The Devs need to take a closer look at this

I am facing the same issue on the latest build I updated to i.e. 25314Hoping for a fix soon as cannot use the system at full brightness all the time.

@ am also having the same issue. Installed 25314 and now I have no control over the screen brightness on my laptop.

I have the issue. Tried everything. Display rollback greyed out. no restore point. I move the brightness scale with no effects. I'm stuck with a bright screen all the time. It sucks.

  You’re more fortunate than many - Some are stuck with an impossibly dim screen.

  A roll back isn't a fix though. You're simply going back to a previous build, which doesn't exactly fix the brightness problem with the latest build

As I replied before, I faced the same problem with the Windows Insider Program Build 25134. What fixed it for me was to install the previous build (from Settings > System > Recovery > the "Go Back" option). I found the advice here: https://aka.ms/AAjyp21
Hope that helps!

  Going back to previous build will remove 25314 update and will resolve this particular issue, but it is not a perfect solution. I believe Microsoft has already acknowledged this issue and they're working on a fix.

  selinszg This doesn't "fix" the problem as it is a recovery, you uninstall the latest Build which has the issue and roll-back to previous version; It WILL fix the issue but you'll lose the whole 25314 update.

    Yeah I know 😕 For me it's better to loose the 25314 update until Microsoft fixes the cause itself than hurting my eyes..

I also have the same issue on Build 25314
I hope they put this in their priority list as it's so annoying and hurts eyes.
