hello , Yesterday I installed the 1809 update , and today i noticed that each time i restart my laptop the brightness level is being reset automatically to 0% or 25-50 i'm not really sure , and after windows will boot up , i will need to manually adjust the screen brightness again to 100% . I searched the web and i found this https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-october-2018-update-common-problems-and-fixes#fix\_brightness\_windows10\_1809 , and it might be an update issue i think , by the way , my power plan is set to maximum performance and my laptop is always plugged in , and solutions or ?

My laptop is an ASUS N76VM.

2018-12-05T11:40:13+00:00 yes Jeff did give a solution to this BUT as you said Microsoft HAS made a "FIX". see above articles I posted.
Call me crazy, but even though Jeff came up with a temporary fix I'm leaving it alone as I told him intil that fix comes out. then I will see what happens.
UGH

2018-12-05T02:58:38+00:00 Good catch Jeff. Just rebooted, powered off completely, etc. over 10 times and it is 100% at startup after disabling this garbage.
At least it wasn't a big bug potentially impacting everyone using a notebook.
Massive sarcasm. Pure incompetence.
Unfortunately, they will likely push another "fix" out that will turn this service back on a break everything again.
Thanks man.
