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 ?

    They removed brightness settings from power option. also removed dim settings. For laptops, no more "plugged in brightness level" or "on battery brightness level". Microsoft what are you doing?. I agree with removing dim settings, they are useless and confusing, but why did you remove other brightness settings?

    I have the same issue on my Asus notebooks.

    Only occurred after the Microsoft Windows 10 1809 October update.

    OS Build 17763.55 does not resolve the issue.

    Asus: UX580GE

    Windows 10 1809 OSB 17763.55

    Boots to display level 50%

    Asus: UX490UAR

    Windows 10 1809 OSB 17763.55

    Boots to display level 50%

    Knocked on wood too soon.

    Today laptop booted at 100% however desktop booted at 50%

    So the fix might not be in store for it.

    Seem like they were mainly concerned with the glitch that deleted files.

    My skip ahead prerelease system does not even have the slider for brightness in either spot.

    It might be you're right, @JeffSchaffer --

    For me, no fix from the Tuesday updates immediately, not on a subsequent shutdown and re-start.

    But after Win10 had run from boot with the upgrade in, then four or five shutdowns and starts following this have come up in normal brightness.

    I'm beginning to trust it, though I had a proper brightness a time or two while the problem was still lurking, before the upgrade.

    Tricky, and it needn't be, if the Microsoft persons weren't so frightened to ever come out and say something about faults and fixes. It's not a grown-up attitude, and because of it, you could find it hard to respect them as they'd probably appreciate.
