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 ?

    As I said to you Adam, I am not enjoying the unique problem you are. I set it, reboot, shut down, sneeze 5 times or more and nothing changes. I can set it at 50%, 60% or 100% and it remains where I set it. 

    It must be the Model I have and this one came with Windows 8.1 and I've been updating of course with each new update. I hope you can get that solved but if it is indeed entirely dependent upon Microsoft, the wait might be long, although I hope that is not the case. 

    The NVIDIA card in this is a Geoforce GTZ 765M and it's updated as soon as the new updates tear on down through the tubes.

    I can also access the same thing you can. the point is as so many people have mentioned, once I put the screen brightness to 100% when the laptop is restarted, it goes to 50% automatically until you reset it back to 100%.  This is a very common issue with 1809 build.... 

    1809 would also not detect the Nvidia G force card, even after latest updates from Nvidia, and goes to black screen all the time. 

    Like I was saying if you read my hole message, they have already come out with like 4 or 5 different windows 10 versions now.  1507, 1511, 1803, 1809 and usually the Bios, and software will not go over 4 builds, even if Bios is updated.  Not sure what model your ROG is or what version of windows it came with, but ROG models are usually different, they have completely different main boards in them.

    I'm not sure if I'm following you. You say you cannot access Advanced Power Options. Why then am I able to succeed on this ASUS Rogue? I'm having zero problems as to getting to the Brightness Options. I go to Windows Settings / Ease of Access / Make everything brighter, move the brightness level to whatever I wish, reboot, shut down, reboot, sneeze five times and the settings saves where I put it. 

    I can set it at 100% and it remains there after the rebooting, shutting down, sneezing. I've set it at 60% and it remains there after all the aforementioned. 

    Maybe I'm missing something you are saying Adam but I'm having absolutely zero problems with what is pouring out so much grief on yourself.

    Simply put, I'm surprised because "adjusting brightness" is not a new aspect of Windows 10. I can see it if it were a new addition but my problem is, why is something that has been there, working well removed, accidentally or otherwise. And if it is as you say, Microsoft was being told about this, then I agree, someone isn't listening or they're high on Rhubarb leaves.

    So Aaron, do you feel in your own mind, this will be an immediate fix or something dragged out over months. I have to say, I'm surprised Microsoft would permit this one out the door without it being noticed.
