I do not see any HP drivers on their website for Windows 10... Have you seen any? My Function+F9/10/11 keys do not work for brightness. But the latest Version of Win10 update has a Slider Bar on the Notifications bottom right popup, under all the Tiles (ie: network, Location,BT, Airplane mode) By the way, you are right about this laptop still being a good laptop. The 8440P has tons of ports and features plus I have the docking station. And it runs pretty fast especailly if you get rid of the Mechanical HDD and replace with a SSD. That makes more difference than upgrading your processor! And I have seen how Intel has been "upgrading their processors" on the newer models. Half the time if you want more cores, then they cut back on the processer Clock speed. But even the Clock speed is all over the place because of that turbo boost. Not only does it make a clock go up, but it also lets the clock spool down to even 1.xghx when it is idling. So, I have seen processors that are 2.5ghx that will run up to 3.x ghz just like the faster processors.. So, I think there is a lot of overlapping in processors. Meaning half of them are not really upgrades. And also, even if you get a processor that has more cores and more cache, once you go above 4 physical cores, you may be wasting cores if you do not have that much data to process. Its liek having too much ram.. it just sits there. So, ya I think Intel is running into a brick wall. Their only way to force you to send them money is to change a platform entirely and stop support. That's what they did with the I5 to I7. They just renamed it, gave it a little more cache, and sliced up the cores and clock speed. The way they slice the cores and clock speed is like cutting a pizza. You can have 2 big cores and 4 small ones, and a slower clock speed like 2.5ghz, or you can have 6 small cores running at 3,5ghz. As of lately, they call it 2 performance cores, and 4 effecient cores. Same principle! All how you slice it! They have 1 Bed, or 1 Pizza, and they slice it multiple ways and tinker with the clock speed. And every so often they change the Name. But THEN, they Cancel all the older processors! Like some of the older processors are just as fast as the new onces depending on the slice. So I went to the USED market and bought a ZEON processor for my X99 PC Mobo, and it has nearly as many cores and cache as the new processors and the clock speed jumps up with turbo boost, too! So why buy a new processor?

thanks !!! I had same problem I bought it from ebay around 4 years ago and I have been using only 60% of brightness all the time till today ! finally I can set it for 100% and it is so bright now like a new screen thanks once again
