Brightness at 0%

Solved

Hello,

I recently adjusted my brightness on Windows 10 but accidentally set it to 0% and I haven't been able to increase it directly. The problem is I'm on Bootcamp (a Mac with Windows installed on it) and I don't have access to the keyboard shortcuts that allow me to change the brightness. Since I can’t see anything on my screen, is there any way other than searching randomly in the settings to increase the brightness?

Thank you in advance for your response.

    Hello.

    Try to boot in safe mode

    With the PC off, press and hold the Shift key ↑ continuously, then turn on the power switch. The startup options page should appear. Click on Troubleshoot and then on Safe Mode. Just set the brightness back to the middle. Restart the PC to see if the brightness has returned to normal.

    If not better . . . Still in safe mode, perform a system restore (Recovery) to a point in time BEFORE the change you made.

    See you later . . .

      The first solution didn't work. I did a complete reset of the computer and even that doesn't reset the brightness. I still have a black screen.
      It's really incredible that no solution has been provided for such a silly problem.

    Since this is a system modification, in principle a previous restore should have brought things back in place.

    I was considering a possible fix by searching for the graphic card driver, but since the screen remains black...
    I don't know if it's a desktop PC or a laptop. In both cases, try connecting an external screen via USB. A new driver should install, and hopefully that screen will light up. From there, there may be a possibility to fix this bug.

    See you later

    Note = >>> The problem is that I am on Bootcamp (a Mac with Windows installed on it) <<<
    And this might be where I am stuck because I don't know this kind of "Dual Boot".

    I managed to solve the problem by placing a lamp behind the screen, at the level of the apple. The light passed through and reflected off the screen panel. I was able to see enough to go into the settings and raise the brightness.
    Thanks to those who helped me.

    Hello.

    Your idea is worthy of being featured in the famous magazine SYSTEME D. Personally, as a DIY enthusiast, I would never have thought of such a method! Hats off.

    Don't hesitate to mark your topic as "resolved" as it can help other users.

    Best regards...
