    Windows 10 update ruined my laptop, help?

    Did anyone else just get a forced update? What resulted was my screen becoming permanently brighter and having a slight blue hue.

    I don't know what to do.

    There was some lady who sued over a forced update and won. Not sure if there's an appeal or what but you should be able to google the article.

    I'm happy with Windows 10.

    I mean, I was just playing League and out of fucking nowhere the PC shutdown for updates and my screen got brighter to where it hurts my eyes and I can't lower it without it being no less worse.

    Why?

    W7 preset might not be the same as W10. Takes 5sec to change screen brightness man, why even bother make a thread..

    It probably just changed the brightness slider "by mistake" *coughcough*
    Either google your laptop name/brand/number + brightness or contact the company they'll tell you exactly how to proceed.

    Oh and yeah, fuck windows 10 update >_>
    Look, windows, i like you, but stop re-installing skype every fucking time there is a major update ffs

    Sounds like after installing the drivers it never set the registry flag to let the brightness controls work so it's just running maxed out, do you know if it's an AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPU?
