Unable to change brightness after win 10 anniversary update

[TFTATER]

I spent most of the morning with tech support.

When I plug in my monitor, the ASUS logo comes up but then the screen stays blank. However, I found that when I tried it after hooking in my VGA monitor, all three (VGA, laptop and MB169+) came on and worked fine. However, when I unplugged the VGA, the ASUS went out. I did get it to stay on when I had all 3 hooked up AND made the ASUS the main screen. Then when I unplugged the VGA monitor, ASUS and laptop stayed how. BUT, when I unplugged the ASUS and plugged it back in, it did not work.

Obviously a Windows update driver issue with USB.

Im having the same problem, right after Windows 10 anniversary update, i no longer able to change the brightness for my AOC e1659fwu monitor. I hope you can give some estimated time on how long to fixed it.

Hello,
You can today decrease the brightness with PangoBright free software.
We are currently validating the changes to move it up/down with ScreenBright for 8.1. However only when we are sure it works will I be able to confirm it will be in 8.1: if there is something seriously wrong, we will not release it in 8.1.
Kind regards,
Alban

As mentioned earlier, all buttons (including on/off switch) and auto-rotation don't work any more with my Asus 168B+.
Will these features work again with the 8.1 release? I don't care too much about auto-rotation, but being able to switch off the display instead of disconnecting it would be quite helpful.

Hello,

I have posted the 8.1 Alpha with its dedicated forum for the feedback.
It includes the support for control of brightness/contrast via DDC/CI applications like ScreenBright. The team has been able to make it fit in time for 8.1.
Feedback on 8.1 Alpha is welcome on the dedicated forum for Alpha.

Kind regards,
Alban
