Brightness issues in Windows 8.1

[steep wagon]

turn the brightness down after it turns up

had this issue with fl studio

but lower the brightness with settings it should be fine

[wind hazel]

On the laptop I use a USB keyboard because the laptop keyboard stopped working some keys, and I don't know what shortcut I can use to lower the brightness on the USB keyboard @steep wagon

Please help <@&787033266225938472>

an external keyboard that doesn't have a button for it (or a combo like FN+F5 or whatever) can't be used. you'll have to open settings and use the slider instead

or you can buy a keyboard that has a button/combination for brightness

@trim folio Could you help me to solve the brightness problem? Because every time I run a game, the brightness is turned up to the maximum. I tried to update the drivers but still the same problem, can you help me?

[trim folio]

I'm not sure what would cause that, probably not part of Windows OS system

What company built the laptop?

[wind hazel]

TOSHIBA

[trim folio]

There's probably some utility program installed by Toshiba that changes brightness based on what you do or contents on the screen or something

it could also be some HDR thing, you could try disabling that

[wind hazel]

After installing Windows 10 on another drive and then removing it, the brightness problem starts with playing games and that didn't happen to me before

I don't know if I understood myself, I use google translator

That surely isn't a feature of Windows I've heard heard about, I think it must be either HDR (which would probably also adjust brightness) or some manufacturer utility that optimizes brightness for you

[wind hazel]

Where is the HDR to disable it?

Click windows 10 to match your version of windows

[wind hazel]

I dont have Windows 10 lol

[trim folio]

okay I thought you said this problem began after installing windows 10

[wind hazel]

I had but along with Windows 8.1, then I already removed it

[trim folio]

I can't help you at all with anything older than windows 10

[wind hazel]

So you don't help others to solve any problem in any outdated Windows?

[trim folio]

As far as I know, it was never built to support HDR in the first place, but no I can't spend time troubleshooting unsupported systems

you might ask in #legacy-stuff

@trim folio One question, is it advisable to upgrade to Windows 10 LTSC 2019? Because with Windows 10 21H2 I was very slow, the toshiba model is TOSHIBA SATELLITE C50-A

[trim folio]

it would be illegal to install LTSC, you have to have a license to use it and it's not legal to purchase as a end user, only corporate

plus your system speed/performance would be identical anyway, most likely because of HDD instead of SSD

[wind hazel]

I didn't know that installing any Windows with LTSC is illegal, and it is also illegal to install Windows LTSC in a virtual machine?

@trim folio

[trim folio]

yes, you have to have a license for it

[wind hazel]

And if I have the license taken from the internet, is it also illegal?

[trim folio]

and instead of $139 like Windows Home license, it costs hundreds or thousands and is only allowed when you have a legal contract

[trim folio]

yes lol, that means it was stolen license key

[wind hazel]

That amount of money should be very expensive compared to the Argentine peso.

[trim folio]

yeah which is just yet another reason why you shouldn't try to illegally use corporate versions

[wind hazel]

So Windows normal?

[trim folio]

yes just the one everyone gets from

Want to download Windows 10 or 11?

Click here to download Windows 10 for your current device or for another device.

Click here to download Windows 11 for your current device or for another device.

[wind hazel]

@trim folio Windows 12 already has a date?

[trim folio]

nope

Windows 11 will be supported for about 8 more years. Every version gets 10 years of support. Windows 10 ends next year

[wind hazel]

@trim folio Is it advisable to have Windows 10 together with Windows 8.1 in a dual boot?

[trim folio]

I don't think it would cause any issue

[wind hazel]

But is it recommended?

[trim folio]

I don't think Microosft makes any official recommendation either way really

I wouldn't do it myself personally but that's just preference to me

[wind hazel]

@trim folio You are very fun because you are just like ChatGPT for your answers

I hope I have not offended you
