You might not see the Change brightness for the built-in display slider on desktop PCs that have an external monitor. To change the brightness on an external monitor, use the buttons on it.

If you don't have a desktop PC and the slider doesn't appear or work, try updating the display driver.

Press and hold (or right-click) the display adapter name, then select Update driver and follow the instructions.
