Brightness controls not working (Windows 10)

Does anyone know how I can get the brightness function keys to work again?


Running Windows 10 on a 2015 MacBook Pro with the AMD Radeon R9 M370X chipset. The brightness keys worked fine when I first set it up, but at some point I updated the driver software, and the function keys stopped working. Now the only way to change the brightness is by opening the Radeon Settings software.


Any help?


thanks,

Mike

OK, I tried resetting the SMC and the NVRAM. The brightness function keys are still not working.


I looked at the Windows update history -- Maybe I was wrong about the problem starting when the drivers were updated. It may be this problem started when the AMD Installer software updated.


Here's the most recent driver update for the keyboard and the display:
