Brightness 0 on Bootcamp, cannot boot up Windows

My Mac has Bootcamp installed. Stupidly, I wondered what would happen if I turned the Windows brightness all the way down to 0. The monitor turned black. I accidentally lost my cursor position and it went off the slider. I could no longer access the brightness slider because the screen was black. I tried using the brightness shortcut, but it did not work. I have restarted multiple times and even booted up my Mac side, which was running at full brightness. It would really be great if someone could help me. Thank you!

Thanks. I should have posted this on the Microsoft forum. Either way, I figured it out a few minutes ago. My brightness keys were bound to fn+f1/fn+f2 on Mac, so I did not know that you could just press the keys w/out fn on Windows Thank you for your time!!! :)
