Hi rajeshmadhuricapcan

To increase the brightness of the system press FN+F5 and decrease by pressing FN+F4. In case you are using windows 8 launch charms bar, click Brightness to adjust the careen brightness levels.

As you have mentioned that the key combination is not working, I would suggest you to install the quickset application from the below mentioned link. Please select the operating system before you start the installation.

Please reply if you have any further questions.

Thanks & Regards
