I have windows 10 with an exterior monitor. I could not find a brightness setting to change to save my life. So my retinas burned for 30 minutes while I tried all the suggested routes, none worked.

Using the Function key with Delete and Backspace is the easiest, it can be done without looking at the keyboard – unlike trying to find the brightness keys in the long row of function keys. Sadly this Function key method is not available on the Surface Pro X.

None of them, as they all work only on the main display. I tried all 7.

Another way to adjust the brightness is to type Brightness in the Taskbar’s Search Field which opens up the Display Window to Brightness and Color to adjust.

I get the following error:
Get-WmiObject : Not supported

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
