Windows 10: Dell XPS screen dimming

I have a Dell XPS 15 9560 version 10.0.17763 Build 17763 running Windows 10 Home. I run 2 monitors through a Dell Thunderbolt docking station connected to my laptop via USB Type C. Its a great setup.


When my laptop screen turns off because I am absent, it usually dims my laptop monitor. Sometimes I can fix this by simply increasing the screen brightness, other times this doesn't work (usually after it's happened 2/3 times) and I need to turn the dim down, restart my laptop then make brighter.


This is really niggly, is there a fix to this?

Unable to dim brightness in Dell Studio 1749 laptop: everything I have tried does not allow me to dim the over-bright screen using the win 10 customization tools? Most suggestion offer tweaks that might not be reversed?

 

How to dim screen?


I tried googling Windows Ten, "how to dim screen," but the layout listed is not the layout I have. I just got Ten yesterday. How do you dim the screen?

I can't even find the options in the Display section.

 

Dell XPS 9370 screen constantly changing brightness / dimming when a darker image is on screen

Hi guys,

I've done some research and realise this "adaptive brightness/screen dimming" thing has been a problem for many, I've attempted the various ways to "fix"it but sadly nothing is working for me :/

I have the new Dell XPS 9370 with the 4k screen, running Windows 10.

I spent the extra on the screen in hope to enjoy the quality while working on graphic design and videos etc, yet it has been the absolute worst experience as even with 100% brightness (draining the battery further) I can barely see anything with clarity
half the time due to the screen constantly dimming so dark. It is really becoming a problem to the extent I hate using the laptop as it's just too difficult to see anything properly especially in photoshop, the one program I'd need constant brightness the
most.

I have turned off 'adaptive brightness' which did nothing, I have played around with all obvious settings with no avail. I also attempted the option others have had success with via the Intel Graphics Settings (however my version must be different as I have
hardly any options to change under 'Power'...sadly I don't have the options others are showing they have).

Might there be any other suggestions to turn off the annoying dimming the screen does when there's a darker image on screen? It seems so pointless to have such a thing in most cases, as when an image is darker that's usually the one time one might actually
need a brighter screen.

Any help would be extremely grateful, being an ex-Mac user, I am finally getting used to Windows, and I really do enjoy the XPS 9370, it's just a shame to spend $3000 on a laptop in attempt to enjoy a really nice screen (to be fair the screen is seriously
amazing!) it's just a shame it's near impossible to even enjoy video playback due to the horribly dark screen/constant dimming.

Even while writing this post the screen has changed brightness at least 3-4 times while scrolling up/down despite the extremely white background :/

Thank you so much for any help in advance!
