Allow Users to Adjust Screen Brightness

[BKGarry]

Hiya All,

 

Stupid issue annoying the hell out of me here.

 

On a model of our laptop the hotkeys allow users to turn down the screen brightness but not back up again. Cue us having to go along, log in as an admin and adjust the screen brightness.

 

Now a lot of our Group Policy Settings are super locked down, from before my time here, can anyone tell me if there is a way of allowing users to adjust the screen brightness without enabling all control panel access. At the moment if you right click on the battery icon as a user and go to adjust screen brightness, it just says that access is blocked.

 

If I can just allow students to put the screen brightness back up, it will solve my issues, as I have tried various scripts to increase the screen brightness of restart etc but they seem to just stop working after a while.

 

I am having to ask here because by GoogleFu is just not up to scratch on this topic with group policy (and my brain is fizzling out)

Try Windows + X in Windows 7. We're also quite heavily locked down, but this seems to work for us.

Boooo, shortcut keys are locked off.

 

It is just weird they can turn it down but not up again.
