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 ?

    Just tried.

    With it disabled, the Windows 10 brightness indicator thing will move up and down, but the screen doesn't follow. Its stays stuck.

    I have disabled the DisplayEnhancementService and I can still adjust my brightness using the function keys on the keyboard. The display brightness in the power options are still gone. When I reboot, my brightness remains at the previous setting.

    So if you have a laptop with the vendor specific drivers for the keyboard function keys, this workaround will get you by.

    Just disable 'DisplayEnhancementService'  in services.msc and brightness will stay at 100%.

    This will not let you set it at any other setting (50%,75% etc,) but who does that anyway.

    This so called problem will be fixed April 2019 release as there is no more settings for brightness in the pre-release version now, unless they put it back.  

    Who does it? Erm, millions of users in their laptops? Save battery? Adjust brightness to illumination conditions? I like the screen dim at night and bright at day. That's not a fix for me, that's solving (or worsening) the problem by removing a essential feature.
