Depending on the lighting around you, at times, you’ll need to increase or reduce the screen brightness on Windows 10 to make everything more visible or more comfortable so it doesn’t hurt your eyes. In addition, reducing brightness can always save battery when you’re on the go.
On Windows 10, you can adjust brightness settings of your display manually, automatically depending whether your PC is plugged in or unplugged, using an ambient sensor.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to increase or reduce brightness manually on your PC’s display using Windows 10.
How to increase or reduce brightness using Action Center
The easiest way to change the brightness on your device is to use the Quick action button available in Action Center or battery flyout.
To change the brightness through Action Center, do the following:
Use the Windows key + A keyboard shortcut to open Action Center. (Or click the Action Center button in the notification area.)
Click the brightness Quick action button repeatedly to cycle through the levels of intensity until you find the desire brightness level that is more comfortable to you.
To change the brightness using the battery flyout, do the following:
Click the battery icon in the notification area.
Click the brightness Quick action button repeatedly to cycle through the levels of intensity until you find the desire brightness level that is more comfortable to you.

Alternatively, on many laptops and desktop PCs you can simply increase or decrease the brightness directly from the keyboard. Usually, you can do this using one of the functions keys. For example, using the Function key + F11 to reduce or the Function key + F12 keyboard shortcut to increase the brightness.
How to increase or reduce brightness using Settings
The caveat using the Action Center or the battery flyout is that you can only select from one of the pre-defined brightness levels (0, 25, 50, 75, 100), and you can’t be precise in the intensity you want to use. However, you can also change brightness using the Settings app.
Open Settings.
Click on System.
Click on Display.
Under “Brightness and color,” use the slider to reduce or increase the brightness level on your screen.
Also, note that if your laptop or monitor includes a light sensor, you can also check the Change brightness automatically when light changes. However, this option will override the manual configuration.
How to lower the screen brightness during battery saver
In order to save battery, you can have Windows 10 to lower the brightness automatically while battery saver is enabled.
Open Settings.
Click on System.
Click on Battery.
Check the Lower the screen brightness while in battery saver option.
However, it’s important to note that you can only turn on or off the option, as there is no way to adjust the brightness level in battery saver mode.

How to increase or reduce brightness using Control Panel
You can also use Control Panel to manually reduce the screen brightness when your laptop is plugged in or running in battery. (On a desktop PC, you’ll only see the controls to adjust the settings when the device is plugged in.)
Open Control Panel.
Click on Hardware and Sound.
Click on Power Options.
Click the Change plan settings link of the current power plan that you’re using.
Use the sliders to adjust the plan brightness when your laptop is running on battery or is plugged in.
Click the Save changes button.
After completing the steps, you only need to remember to adjust these settings again if you ever change the power plan.
How to increase or reduce brightness on external monitor
The above instructions will only work for a laptop, tablet, or a desktop PC with a single monitor. If you have an external monitor, unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn’t provide a way to adjust brightness for secondary displays.
In the case you have more than one monitor, you’ll need to use the controls available in the display itself to change the brightness settings.
Usually, you’ll find these controls next to the power button of the display, or you’ll need to access the main menu to adjust the brightness, similarly to how you would change this setting on your TV.
So, I've had the update for about a week and honestly I've been loving it so far. Only problem was I couldn't regulate screen brightness which was stuck at 100%. But I chose to ignore this, until today when it dropped down to minimum. I almost can't read the screen unless I move to a dark room like I did to type this post =/
Adaptive screen brightness is disabled.
I'm using a Lenovo IdeaPad Z400. I tried to update drivers but Lenovo hasn't released any updates for Windows 10. Can anybody please help? I can barely use my computer like this, it's very frustrating :(
EDIT: I tried this solution offered on a similar post and it didn't work:

The Generic PnP Monitor was already on so this wasn't the problem.

I finally know the answer - and it's not pleasant. This solution on Reddit partially solved my problem:
So I managed to fix the Brightness problem on my Lenovo Z500 (non-touch) here's what I did
1 Downloaded the Intel Video Drivers for 8.1 off the Lenovo Website
2 Ran the unpacker but >did not install< once unpacked
3 Navigated to C:DriversIntel Video Driver9.17.10.3223
(On mine there are two folders like this http://prntscr.com/7z1wrq[1] )
4 Inside 9.17.xxx right click setup -> run as administrator
5 Run installer
Once it finished I was able to change brightness again
Problem is, the driver doesn't work perfectly, so it would raise brightness to the maximum and it'd be stuck there. If I tried to lower it, it would drop to min and I'd have to reinstall the driver again. I chose to use the screen on max brightness for a while, until I got tired of this and other compatibility problems and decided to go back to 8.1
Pressing F3 will give you a little brightness changer in the top left. You can click on that and adjust your brightness.
