If you disable it, it will not start up at each boot and bring your brightness setting down to 50%

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 ?

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.

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

2018-12-05T20:52:12+00:00 Great idea. It works!!! :) Even my battery icon that went crazy since the 1803 update (it showed the fully charged battery to be almost gone dead) shows now the real state of my battery. Thank you very much for your solution!
My laptop is an ASUS N76VM.
