[Solved] Brightness Not Working In Windows 7/8/8.1/10

Windows 10 comes with a Maps app that lets you search for locations, get turn-by-turn directions, and see points of interest wherever you go. If you know you won't have an internet connection on your computer, you can still use these features by downloading offline maps.
When you download these regional maps, you'll be able to get directions and search for places like restaurants and coffee shops even when you're not connected to the internet. The quickest way to download maps is through the system settings. Here's how.
1. Select Settings from the Start menu.
2. Click System.
3. Select Offline maps.
4. Click the + button next to "Download maps".
5. Select the continent where your desired country is located. (Sorry, adventurers, Antarctica is not supported.)
6. Select the region you want to download. Depending on the area, you can download a whole country or you'll have to drill down to a smaller region (for example, with Canada and the USA).
7. Repeat for any additional regions you want to have as offline maps. You can download more maps while other maps are currently downloading.
TIPS!
- The whole U.S.A: If you want to download all the maps for the USA, you can choose "All regions." It will take up over 4GB of space on your hard drive, however.
- Multiple countries at once: If you want to choose more than one country or region at a time, click the multiple-option button on the bottom bar
And then check the regions you want to download en masse.
You can also do this from the settings menu of the Maps app itself, but it's an extra step and the downloads won't start until you close the Maps app. So it's just simpler to do it from the system Settings app.
After downloading the offline maps, you'll be able to use them in the Maps app even when you're in a location without internet. Some features, like the 3D view, don't work in the offline downloaded maps, but for just getting around when you're traveling, Windows 10's offline maps can be very helpful. The offline maps will also be automatically updated when your device is connected to Wi-Fi and plugged in.
If you no longer need the downloaded map and you'd like to free up some hard drive space, head back to the Offline maps settings and select the maps to delete.

Resetting Microsoft Edge is not like resetting other browsers, however. Edge is a part of the Windows operating system, and cannot be uninstalled. There are different ways to tackle this problem, but you should try the basic methods first.
Reset Microsoft Edge Through Its Settings
Open the “Settings” menu by clicking the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the Edge window and choose “Settings.”
Under Clear browsing data, click “Choose what to clear” and then click “Show more.” There are a lot of data types here. Select them all and click “Clear.” Restart your PC and re-open Edge for a clean slate.
Repair Microsoft Edge Through System File Checker
sfc /scannow
For more information on running System File Checker commands, check out our guide on the subject. If the SFC command fails to fix the problem, then try the more advanced DISM command or System Update Readiness Tool described in our guide. Restart your PC and hopefully Microsoft Edge should work properly.
Reset Microsoft Edge Through PowerShell
If the above methods don’t work for you, you may have to go nuclear. This PowerShell command will delete and re-register the core data of Microsoft Edge. Make sure you perform a full backup and/or create a system restore point before continuing in case anything goes wrong. This is very important, and do not continue before creating a backup!First, navigate to the following folder and clear everything inside it:
C:\Users\%username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe
(Replace
%username with your own username.) Next, right-click on the Start menu and choose “Windows PowerShell (Admin)”. Copy and paste the following code inside PowerShell and press Enter:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
If the process was completed successfully, you should see a message like this:
When you open Microsoft Edge next time, you will see that it has been reset to default. If you encounter any error, type the following command to get the first few logged events:
Get-Appxlog | Out-GridView
