screen brightness with Windows 7

Question

Hello,  I installed Windows 7 and since then I can no longer adjust the brightness of my screen with FN + F6 F7  How can I fix this problem?

Dada_style · Accepted Answer

It's quite simple, I used to have that problem too, but I found the solution. If you have an Acer, then on the arrow keys you see the sun logos. So, just press Fn + right arrow to increase the brightness and vice versa, Fn + left arrow to decrease the brightness...

Good evening,  In the search box of the Start menu, type: DCCWdccw

tribun · Answer

Hello
DCCWdccw doesn't give anything.

Go to the Control Panel and Display
in the left column, adjust the resolution, brightness, etc.
check all the settings.

yes DCCW or dccw but not DCCWdccw. Here you are in the calibration of contrasts and colors
but in Display you can easily and quickly adjust your screen's brightness.

DCCW?  But what donkey invents this kind of "shortcut"?  It reminds me of alt + 0156 for the "œ" in sœur... One must not take people for fools, But one must never forget that they are.

Still not... none of your suggestions work.

It's strange though, there's just this function that doesn't work.

It's annoying because when my PC is not plugged into the power, I can barely see my screen.

tribun · Answer

You should have the Num Lock or NumLk key on your keyboard,
press the key Fn & Num Lock or NumLk

otherwise see this.

The problem, if I understand correctly, is not that he can't adjust the brightness of his screen.
But that his keyboard shortcuts for adjusting the brightness of his screen aren't working.

Stupid question: have you installed the drivers for your keyboard? (go to the manufacturer's website)

batisme61 · Answer

yes, the drivers for my keyboard and graphics card are up to date.

I will go to the manufacturer's website to see if there is an adapter program for Windows Seven for installing keyboard shortcuts... However, it may be that the manufacturer has not planned anything for that, but then again, it doesn’t hurt to try...
If it still doesn’t work, then try installing Windows updates...

To be able to adjust the brightness with a slider in Windows 7, you need to set the power plan to "High Performance" and then restart. The slider titled "Screen Brightness" appears at the bottom of the "Power Options" window.

saj · Answer

After installing Windows 7 on some PCs intended for Vista or XP, the keyboard keys to reduce brightness do not work.

Manually, the adjustment is possible:
-click on the start button
-control panel
-hardware and sound
-power options
and that’s it, you have a slider at the bottom in the middle to decrease or increase the brightness.

Even more directly:
-on the taskbar at the bottom, next to the clock, click on the battery icon
-at the bottom click on the blue link "adjust screen brightness"
-the page appears immediately and at the bottom we have again the slider to decrease or increase the screen brightness.

I have the same issue with my HP 6735 PC after installing Windows 7 (it was designed for Vista), maybe it's a compatibility problem!

OcéWB · Answer

Hi, my problem still hasn't been resolved. Whether it's with the keyboard keys or through the control panel, nothing changes and my brightness is still too high. This is quite annoying during the day.

For your information, I'm on Packard Bell and Windows 8.1

Thank you for your help!
