Doubt this is the problem but try if not already uncheck "adjust my screen brightness automatically"

I had same problem tried reinstalling, using older version and many tricks.
But the following setting change worked for me.

1) Go to Device manager
2) Open Monitor option ( Below Mice and other pointing decive)
3) Opening Monitor option will reveal "Generic Pnp monitor"
4) Right click here and select "Enable"
5) Done

See it this works for you.

Re: Windows 10 pro brightness control not working

You're lucky you even have a brightness control. I neither have an icon on my bottom taskbar or a level control in the Settings box. And I do know where to look because I have a second computer with Win 10 and both those ARE visible and working!

I'm searching the forums looking for an answer and found this thread...
