Windows 10: Desktop display is dim after brought back from sleep

My display for my desktop is dim every time the computer is brought back from sleep mode. The only information I can find only pertains to laptop users with adaptive brightness controls. The only work around is to shut down the computer every time instead of using sleep mode. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. All my drivers are up to date.

display dimming

Hi,

There's a possibility that this issue is due to the Display settings of your device. For us to isolate your concern, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• Is it only happening when you connect your device to Windows 10?
• If it's not connected, have you noticed certain activities wherein the screen dims automatically?
• Have you tried using a different HDMI cable?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

We hope to hear from you soon.

Dim Desktop Monitor when no windows open

I followed the steps you suggested. The troubleshooter noted and made two changes. It changed the Power Plan from High Performance to Balanced and it reduced the screen turn off time from 30 minutes to 10 minutes. After rebooting, the same problem occurs.
No change to the screen dimming.

I did notice that, among the items that it checked but did not change was, "Time before display dims is too long" . However, I cannot find anywhere that I can set the time before the display dims. The only display options under PowerOptions>Edit Plan Settings>Advanced
Settings>+Display are to set the time before the display turns off and enabling adaptive brightness.
