I had to reset windows because on installing build 17127 , it botched. Even in the botched state it had no brightness control.

Now , I don't have it even after upgrading to 17133 or 1803 rtm . 

I have tried  , installing / uninstalling Intel HD graphics driver ( very old , core i3 first gen PC) 

I have installed/uninstalled Monitors >generic PnP monitor drivers .

(monitor.sys ) is the said driver that allows / disallows F2/F3 brightness hotkey , while brightness never changes. Can you give Monitor.sys from an earlier build such that it can be tested , how do I replace the driver.

    After one week of struggle with screen brightness i am done with 1803 so i rolledback to 1709.

    Installed windows update minitool and windows update blocker to manage windows updates myself.

    You could try this one:

    https://danielkawakami.blogspot.de/2014/08/gma-4500-series-feature-pack-for.html

    This Feature Pack restores the CUI (Common User Interface) and OpenGL support for the (Mobile) Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Graphics.

    For me everything works fine with Windows 10 1803 and a Dell Latitude E4300 (Core 2 Duo with Intel GMA4500 - DM45/47 Chipset Family). There is no problem while changing brightness with FN+Up or FN+Down.

    Driver is: 8.15.10.2702 -> 03-11-2013 -> Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)

    I've installed the old Intel Driver: 8.15.10.2253 from Lenovo over the manual instalation "have disk". This worked fine for the Intel Graphics. It's adjustable again.
