    Whenever I fn + f5 or fn + f6, the brightness control freezes. I've tried installing and reinstalling ATK hotkey but nothing fixes the problem. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there any work around?

    Nevermind. I fixed the problem. I installed the latest intel chipset driver and updated my BIOS to 216. One of those somehow fixed the problem. If anyone has the same problem try doing those!

    Nicely done. :thumbsup: Sometimes re-installing the monitor driver fixes this discrepancy as well.
