    I created this task in PowerShell that adjusts the brightness at startup to Microsoft Windows 10 V1809.

    C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe "(Get-WmiObject -Namespace root/WMI -Class WmiMonitorBrightnessMethods).WmiSetBrightness(1,100)"

    1. Run "C:\Windows\System32\taskschd.msc"
    2. Right click on Task Scheduler and select create task
    3. I used "ScreenBrightness" for the task name
    4. Select "Run whether user is logged on or not"
    5. Select "Run with highest privileges"
    6. Click on "Triggers" tab
    7. Click on "New"
    8. Choose "Begin the task: "At Startup"
    9. Click on "Okay"
    10. Click on the "Actions" tab
    11. Click on New
    12. Past the command into the Program/Script Line
    13. Click on Okay
    14. Click on Yes
    15. Enter your Windows user password
    16. Click on okay.

    When you restart your computer the screen brightness will change to 100% (1,100)

    This is just a workaround, we want a solution, a proper fix.

    I have the same problem on two ASUS laptops. I noticed it immediately the first time the laptops rebooted after the update. The reset already occurs during booting. Every time I start or restart a device, I have to reset the brightness to 100%. I use only one powerplan which is set to maximum power, and all battery saving options are OFF. (both laptops work mainly on net power, not the battery).

    The 'display' options in 'advanced power options' have been removed in an earlier update;  you only have these if you started with version 1507. If you freshly install any newer version, you have a greatly reduced number of 'advanced power options'. I still have the options on my older laptop, bought before July 2015, but not on the laptop bought in 2016, which came with version 1511.

    (Any Microsoft customer service rep should know this).
