    What works for me:

    In Device Manager -> Keyboards -> Standard PS/2 Keyboard, right click to uninstall, then reboot. The driver will be reinstalled automatically and then the brightness keys are working fine.

    Looks like it's more of a keyboard driver issue rather than a glitch of graphics card or monitor.

    Hi! I tried everything here but I'm having the same issue. I even downloaded a previous driver and then updated it again just to double-check but my brightness up (f5) still does nothing. My brightness down button however, can work fine.

    mine didn't work. It keep bringing out this prompt about hp Hotkey Support with a blank body and a cancel button. It is not working at all.
