    I just noticed taking my new 13 R3 to bed I couldnt turn down the brightness at all. The button works but it doesnt do anything.

    Windows has the monitor as generic PNP monitor.

    I tried installing the OLED Driver from the 13 R3 support section but it doesnt seem to do anything when it trys to install.

    I cant use this thing at maxed out brightness on battery :(

    I tried installing the OLED driver manually and it just says make sure that the ini is ment for x86 systems.

    I cant reinstall windows again and download all my games because I have a comcastic cap.

    There has to be a way to force install a driver regardless of windows warnings..

    Please help me.

    Fresh install of Windows and installing the OLED stuff first thing worked for me... Maybe have to do it before Windows automatically installs nVidia drivers.
    If anyone has Windows 10 N version, you need the Media package to be able to use Tobii stuff or the camera at all.
