    I'm afraid that the display brightness setting now applies to both on battery and AC equally now. No separation. :-(

    Display dims on battery power

    No problem!

    If you go back to the Edit Plan Settings page and click on 'Change advanced power settings', then scroll down in the advanced settings box to Display. In the Display settings there is 'Dimmed display brightness' and 'Enable adaptive brightness', try turning
    adaptive brightness off if enabled and also increasing the dimmed brightness level.

    Please let me know if that makes any difference.

    Display dims on battery power

    No matter how many settings I tweak, I cannot get the display on my laptop to remain bright if I unplug it. It dims to an unacceptable level Any suggestions on how to fix this would be welcomed. Thanks

    Display dims on battery power

    Hi there! My name is Steve. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you. I'm happy to help with your query.

    That sounds very frustrating and not at all ideal if the screen is too dim! Please give the following steps a go to fix this:

    1. Click on the Start menu, type "Control Panel", and select the Control Panel app

    2. In Control Panel click on Power Options

    3. In the Power Options menu you will see the currently selected power plan, click 'Change plan settings' to the right of the selected plan

    4. In the settings menu you will see 'Adjust plan brightness' for both On Battery and Plugged in, here you can turn up the brightness level of the display when you change onto battery power

    5. Don't forget to click Save changes!

    I hope this helps, please let me know if I can be of any further assistance!
