    I got a problem with the Bios Settings for Screen Brightness.
    I like to set them to 8 (from 0-16) for both AC and DC to have a mid-level screen brightness and not always have to turn the brightness down via FN Key once Windows is loaded.

    Sadly, it gets reseted after a reboot to 16, sometimes also to something different like 9/13, 5/7, or anything else.

    Really weird.

    Got the latest A11 Bios update.

    Clues?
    Any?

    Try setting it under Power Options instead of Fn+Up/Down
