After one of the recent upgrades to Windows 10, my Dell Laptop brightness is off the charts. I can find no way to adjust it. The function buttons no longer work. Under settings, the display setting provides no adjustment for brightness. I've read online about others having this problem a few years ago; I haven't found anyone talking about it as a recent issue. I have tried the fixes that were listed; none of them have worked. Please Help.

Same here today after massive update.....help....
Same issue. Been noticing my screen was waaaay too bright. Monitor is already at dimmest setting. Using the nightlight for now, but i don't like the orange tint to everything. I am a digital artist so this is really taking its toll. There are zero brightness settings in the taskbar, control panel, or settings. I have looked everywhere that I have found people saying it should be, but its simply not there. I would take 25% at this point, just stop searing peoples' retinas before you get sent eye insurance bills.
