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.

    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.

    Will this work with hp laptops? I tried installing old win 7 drivers and the drivers didn't install. Was still showing the one win 10 provides. I even tried to manually but it doesn't let me. It only Let's me used the win 10 drivers.

    I even tried windows compatibility mode and no success. It will either use the win 10 Intel HD drivers or standard generic driver.

    How were you able to install that? On my laptop. The Intel HD drivers are from 2012. Installing drivers from 2011 won't even override it. It only accepts the win 10 2012 drivers. It's either that or generic.

    When I get home will try to block these drivers from reinstalling.
