Brightness Controls no longer working after Ventura 13.7 Update

I have the exact same issue. I'm trying to send feedback to Apple, but MacOS 13.7 isn't one of the options in the drop-down menu. :P

Good work there 👍

There is an Ambient Light Sensor on the Builtin Camera

If that had become covered or partially covered

Closing the Lid and opening again, may have dislodged what was covering the Sensor ?

My M1 MBA updated to 13.7 has the same problem. And I found many people with the same problem. Obviously, it is a bug of 13.7. Hope Apple release a minor update as soon as possible to fix this bug... It is annoying!

I tried it and it worked! Thank you! It's just so hassle to always do that every time I start up the laptop. I fear I'm never going to update ever again after this, it's so traumatic. I really thought I was going to lose my mind

Did you try opening and closing the lid? My brightness controls work after doing so (but I have to do it each time I start up the computer now).

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue on the M1 Pro / 16GB after upgrading to version 13.7. Closing and reopening the laptop laptop cover helps, but it's annoying. Honestly, if it weren't for the security patches, I probably wouldn't update anymore.

I don't want to update to higher versions OSX because they run slower and use more RAM. I produces music and use VMware Fusion for DevSecOps tasks, so every megabyte of RAM is crucial. I think OSX Ventura is the last good (in terms of performance and RAM usage) one for this version of hardware (m1 pro).

Apple: please fix this problem !!!

Recently updated my macbook and I'm experiencing the same issue. Is there a solution to this problem? I think I'm gonna go crazy with the intensity of the brightness, I can't control it T___T

Same issue, MBA M1 2020, no brightness control after 13.7 update.

I am also facing this issue. When will apple release fix for it?
