an update is available for your BIOS (F.0C). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [HP ENVY 15t-3000 CTO Notebook PC] Hardware display brightness has
  only three levels

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Display brightness control via function keys only allows three levels
  of brightness. It appears to initially start off with more levels, but
  once you have changed the brightness, it only chooses three levels.
