Hi Alex, Thank you for the BIOS information. The problem you are experiencing was fixed in BIOS version 01.07.02 Rev.A - Fixes an issue where Fn+F3/F4 do not change the brightness of the display panel when the Privacy Panel is enabled in the F10 settings. The latest BIOS version is 01.09.01 Rev.A so the problem will be resolved after BIOS upgrade. BIOS is not available via LVFS, you will need to install it via Windows executable. https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/laptops Let me know if the problem is resolved.
