Windows 10: Can I change the display brightness automatically when switching to battery?

The current release of W10 keeps the same brightness when switching from power to battery and back. This used to be standard functionality that was removed a few releases ago.

I always forget to adjust and only realise 3 hours into a 10 hour flight when the laptop goes onto battery saver...

Are there any apps or hacks to make brightness change automatically?

Display Brightness Automatically Changing.

Hi, adz7. Get this when attempting to see your video.

 

Display brightness is automatically changed

I have a ASUS VivoBook 14 laptop with Windows 10 OS on it, and I noticed that display brightness changes a little when switching between different windows, decreasing while dark-colored window is active in increasing while light-colored windows is active.
This happens whether charging or using battery power. How should I either reverse it (I'd prefer to have more brightness while working with dark-colored windows) or at least turn it off?
