Brightness adjustment doesn't work since I updated my MBP 2017

Hey There,

After I updated my MacOs to Big Sure It stopped functioning it shows me in the touch bar that it going up and down but nothing happening on the screen itself.

I tried reinstalling Catalina and it worked. but once I update it to the latest version which is Big Sur 10.6 it stops working.

Please I searched everywhere for the solution but none helped me.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

On an Intel Mac you can try —


resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295


resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)
