Method #1. Adjust the Brightness on HP Laptops on Windows 10 Using Keyboard Keys

Increasing or decreasing the brightness of the screen via the keyboard shortcut is the easiest way.

1. F2 & F3

These are the most common keyboard shortcut keys for HP laptops in order to increase or decrease the screen brightness. F2 will decrease the brightness while F3 increases the brightness. You can locate these keys on top of your HP keyboard, normally from F1 to F12, which also known as the function key.

Step 1. On some HP laptops, you only need to press F2 or F3 to adjust the brightness. If this is not working for you follow the second steps.

If you can’t find the brightness key on F2 and F3 then locate F7 and F8. Press and hold the fn key while pressing one of the two keys (F7 & F8) you found in the top row. If it doesn’t work for you then press the F7 or F8 only.
