    Volume and brightness slider bars are missing when adjusting using FN keys


    Whenever I use the FN keys to adjust volume or brightness, both are adjusted normally, but there is no slider in the icon that pops up at the bottom of the screen. It just has a line with a solid color. How can I get there to be a slider? Is something wrong with my computer?

    :)

    Changing brightness is no longer smooth with function keys on 1903

    Hi, There's a the slider for brightness at the bottom of the Action Centre (build 1903).

    If you'd be prepared to consider an alternative... how about smooth control of brightness using your scroll wheel?
    Press a key, plus scroll, and adjust your brightness.

    The key and the steps are your choice.

    Oh, and it can adjust volume similarly.

    Works nicely on my Lenovo Thinkpad, where the Fn key steps for brightness are a bit harsh.

    Missing Adjust Screen Brightness slider in Power Options

    3rd party tools like Volumouse (free) allow key press + scroll to control brightness

    Missing Adjust Screen Brightness slider in Power Options

    Hi Dalchina, thanks very much. I will read the links, and yes, you're right - I should get accustomed to using the Fn keys to adjust brightness. Thanks again.
