So I can't find the screen brightness slider or any brightness adjustment option in my power plan options. All I can do is determine when to put the laptop to sleep and when to turn off the display.
It seems like the common solution for many was to go to Device Manager and uninstall the driver under Monitors, then scan for hardware changes. I did that and it didn't work. If it helps, under my Monitors section it says "Generic PnP Monitor".
Update: I've since found a semi-solution. I can adjust the brightness by holding the Fn key and pressing up/down on my arrow keys. However, the brightness sliders are still missing.

If it is a laptop, it will most likely come back if you reinstall manufacturer's management tools software. The are usually full of unwanted stuff, but if you uninstall them, those on screen goodies like screen brightness indicator will go away too.
I have been having the same problem and I just found out a really easy and fast way to find the slider. It wont even take a minute.
Just go to control panel, then hardware and sound, then power options. In the power options window, wether you use the balanced or power saver plan, you will find a "change plan settings" button.
Press that, then below the display adjustments, press the "change advanced power settings". A little box will appear, and you will find a "change settings that are currently unavailable" button. Press that, and then scroll down until you find display. Click on the plus sign on the left side of it, then click the plus sign of the "Display Brightness". From there you can adjust it to your liking. Hope that helps. Best of luck to all of you, Contributer
1Never mind - I see the slider you talk about..
Here -
It is in the Power Plan information.
I am sure it is in Control Panel too.
