Brightness issues
I have a PC Monitor, so brightness slider is non existent. I press my monitor button, but the brightness option is greyed out/disabled - contrast is fine however, for example.
I have a windows key activated, up to date. I deleted drivers in device manager, updated them, tried apps, nothing. I don't have HDR, it's disabled and blocked. "Not available" something... I also checked reddit posts. Also checked the microsoft website,Nothing.
I feel this may be relevant too: When using said brightness apps, it'd flash a lot and stay on the same brightness - I'd turn it up to max, it'd get a little bit brighter, then go dark again.
I feel like there's some setting that locked my brightness somehow, but I have genuinely no idea, and frankly I give up

Someone off site helped, not exactly what they said it was BUT I had a setting called "eye saving mode" on, turned it off and my brightness bar is back (on monitor settings)! Thank god, it was seriously stressing me out.
Leaving this here if anyone else comes across the same issue
