Windows 10: Windows 10 can't stop the screen dimming when on battery. I could last week but now...

As per title, last week I could solve this problem by creating a new power plan as there was no other way ! to stop the screen dimming on battery. That is an incredible thing to realise, that our basic ability to choose the screen brightness is slowly but surely being removed, as with many other things already.Anyway, today I reinstalled windows and found that even this option is removed !Any hints would be welcome.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand the inconvenience you are facing after upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 operating system. I appreciate your effort in trying to fix the issue.



What is the model number of the device?



I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and let us know if that helps.

   Hardware tab and select Device Installation Settings.
   
5. When in Device installation settings, select "No, let me choose what to do" and "Never install driver software from Windows update".

Windows 10 - Screen stays dim when on battery power

Windows 10 Laptop screen stays dim on battery power.

 

Dim screen Win 10?

Have read the blogs. Windows 10 needs to make it EASY for people to dim their screen. This is my 3rd Toshiba laptop and it was easy to adjust the screen on all 3 including this one, until windows 10. Will buy a new laptop without Win 10 before I'll go
through all the steps to dim screen in win 10 that is listed in the blogs I've read. I did stall an APP that helped but screen still hurts my eyes and creates a headache. Anybody have an EASY answer. It was so easy to work with DOS and windows 3.1. It's been
a pain for a lot of people ever since they came up with the REGISTRY. Thanks people.
