Funny Saying of the Week

Last night I stayed up later than intended and I was very tired. I also needed to get up early (for me) in the morning.

When I came out to say good night to my mom, I said

"Well, I'll be one tired kiddo tomorrow, but I suppose that's better than being two tired kiddos."

Get some sleep. . .

Solved: Windows 8 DELL Inspiron 11 3000 series Screen Brightness Not Adjusting

Here is the process I followed when my screen brightness would not adjust in response to using the buttons on the keyboard, the slider in the settings side tab, or the slider in the power plan section:

Go to the Control Panel

Go to Hardware and Sound

Go to Device Manager under Devices and Printers

Go to Display Adapters
- Click on the item under that heading (In my case, the Intel(R) HD Graphics Family)

Go to the Driver tab in the little window that pops up

Click disable driver (the screen will flash)

Re-enable the same driver (the screen will flash again)

Restart the computer


Et voila! My screen brightness was adjustable for the first time in ages!
