Screen Brightness in Bootcamp Windows 10 Preview

Disabling Adaptive Brightness in Windows 8 or 10

Hit the Windows key, and then type in “Power Options” into the search, which will pull up the Power Options panel.

Once here, click the “Change plan settings” link on the selected plan.

Then click the “Change advanced power settings” link.

And now, browse down to Display –> Enable adaptive brightness, and change the settings there to Off.

Changing this setting fixed my brightness problems on my MacBook Air running Windows through Boot Camp.

I was running into the same problem when I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. After searching through the settings, I found a solution that appears to resolve this issue.

To fix this problem:

1. Go To - Settings>System>Display
2. Turn Off "Adjust My Screen Brightness Automatically" Setting

I hope this helps. If anyone is having problems with Windows 10 bootcamp, I would strongly recommend installing the most up-to-date bootcamp drivers. I lost my F-key functionality after the upgrade, and reinstalling the updated drivers resolved that issue.

The following link explains the process to reinstall updated bootcamp drivers:
