    Resolved Can't adjust brightness (MacBook Pro - Bootcamp)

    I have a feeling it's a conflict with the NVIDIA driver but I was wondering if anyone has found a solution for this? It's not the adaptive brightness, I've already got that unticked. The brightness bar moves, however the brightness stays the same.
