Need Help, Windows 11 Laptop Stuck on Max Brightness

I own a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (15ACH6) and around a year ago, my laptop got stuck at Max Brightness (moving the slider wouldn't do anything) after I installed a Windows Update. I tried everything from updating the BIOS and drivers to clean installing them using DDU. Rolling back the Windows Updates was never an option on my laptop, and after searching through countless forums and exhausting my options, I decided to try resetting my laptop back then, and at the last moment after confirming the reset, I noticed my brightness go down and immediately interrupted the reset by shutting off my PC which somehow fixed the issue (it somehow rolled back the update) I reinstalled the update to confirm the issue and the brightness issue happened again so I rolled it back through the reset method again and paused windows updates since.

A year later now, my laptop seriously dropped in performance so I had to install the updates and clean installed the latest drivers using DDU (which tremendously helped with the performance) but then the brightness issue came back, can anyone please help me fix it? it is seriously straining my eye, I can't sustainably use my laptop anymore, I'd be forever grateful :(
