Windows 10: Adaptive Display Brightness Setting Gone

Hello,


I have a Windows Surface Pro 6. The latest Windows 10 update eliminated the Advanced Power Setting option to disable adaptive display brightness. How do I turn off the feature? I don't want my screen to auto-dim/brighten.


Thanks -

JRR

I can't Turn on the Adaptive Brightness

No problem! So first I followed these steps: Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change plan settings -> Change advanced power settings -> Display -> Enable adaptive brightness

So that's the first thing to check I'd say. But for me, I had the issue that "Enable adaptive brightness" wasn't on the list. So I followed these steps and they fixed my problem:
Press Windows key + X ->
Click Device Manager ->
Expand Display adapters ->
Right click the current display adapter -> Click Uninstall ->
Check the box that says, "Delete the driver software for this device.” ->
Exit Device Manager ->
Restart ->

Click Start -> Settings -> Update & security -> Windows Update -> Check for updates
Download and install any pending updates ->

Restart your computer

And that fixed it
