I have updated my graphics driver and after restarting my computer my brightness has gone to a darker color. (If I uninstall the driver my brightness come back to normal). I'm curious to know if there is an alternative way to fix this issue without having to uninstall the driver.
"...then when I go to download the graphics driver it tells me..." I believe that you intend to say install the driver rather than download.
Before installing this Graphics Driver you should first uninstall the currently installed driver. This have to be done when installing DCH driver first time. Follow those instructions:
Disconnect the internet and uninstall the currently installed driver. Check the Delete option while uninstalling. After uninstalling, you should in Device Manager the Microsoft Basic Graphics Driver.
I have done this and it did not resolve my display brightness, my screen used to be bright until I installed the new graphics driver, if I have only Microsoft basic graphics driver my screen display is perfectly fine, it’s only when I install the new driver my display changes.
Now you have Bios and drivers updated, please enter Bios and set it default settings.
Usually (but not in all computers), press F2 during boot to enter Bios. Press F9 followed by"Y", to set bios defaults and then F10 confirmed by "Y" to save settings and exit Bios. Could be that in your computer other keys combination is used.
