Windows 10: 1908 - Cannot turn off adaptive brightness

Really sick that this is always default on laptops. It is turned off in the intel settings but the screen brightness still changes. This is EXTREMELY frustrating as a graphics designer as i am zooming in and out of dark and light areas and the screen is constantly changing. Makes working on my laptop VERY taxing.


I have checked under settings and display, power options as well as the intel settings. I noticed that in the WIN10 settings the box is not longer available to turn off.


Am i missing something? i am open to any ideas my eyes are killing me

How to turn off adaptive brightness?

Hi, I have a Windows 10 laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8130U CPU @ 2.20Ghz that I just got a week ago.

The brightness keeps dimming with darker images being displayed and brightening with lighter images. I've googled solutions to this problem and none of them have worked.

• I've updated the graphics driver
• rolled back said driver
• tried looking in the BIOS (which there are no brightness settings anyway)
• restarted the laptop
• shut down and turned on the laptop
• gone into power settings and turned off adaptive brightness On Battery and Plugged In
• tried downloading a new graphics driver
• looked into windows settings with no checkmark to disable adaptive brightness
• turned on high video performance
• tried to find Adaptive Brightness in services and disable it (it didn't seem to exist)

almost everything I've seen but none have helped. the laptop is for work and entertainment and I'd like to use it at full brightness most of the time, please help.

Thank you in advance.

 

No options to turn OFF adaptive brightness / no power slider


Hello everyone!

I'm stuck with a very weird problem I can't solve. I'm not a full-on reading binary style tech person but I'm using computers (and fix their problems) since forever and never ran against a wall like this:

My Dell M3800 laptop turned on the adaptive brightness feature again that I disabled almost three years ago. Now it's pretty much useless in dim environments because the screen gets so dark. Also every option windows normally has to switch it off is gone. Not greyed out, it's just not there (Both in the legacy power options and in te new UI).

Around the same time it happend that windows decided to get rid of the old power profiles and instead only show the "balanced" one that comes with the power options slider when you click on the battery icon in the tray. I had that briefly and then the slider disappeard along with the option of turning adaptive brightness OFF.

This makes me MAD.

• I deleted and restored the default power plans in several ways
• I changed all (all I found, though) corresponding registry entries to disable adaptive brightness
• I checked the registry for the the option to show the switching-option being ENABLED
• I even stopped the windows service for the ambient light sensor

No change. Any Wizards around? *Shock
