Can't adjust brightness on Dell XPS 13 under Windows 10
Every time my Windows 10 installs a new major update I lose control over screen brightness. I can't adjust it neither via hardware keys (FN+F11, FN+F12) nor via system tray battery icon widget.

If you're talking feature updates (creators updates) it might be that whatever software you installed to have that functionality is broken. Did you try to reinstall that software?

@Seth there's no software, it's a native Windows feature driven by hardware keys and power management applet

In Control Panel, under Device Manager, expand "Monitors" and see if you have a
"PnP Monito (standard)". If that's the case, right-click on that node then select "Update driver". Select "Browse my computer", then "Let me pick from a list". Finally, choose the "Generic PnP Monitor" and click Next to install it. This fixed the problem several times for me.
