Windows 10: Disable auto-dimming

My laptop's screen dims itself automatically due to "inactivity"; it'll happen if I'm watching a video, reading, or even playing a game, but if I don't touch my keyboard or mouse for just a couple of seconds, my display will dim.
I've tried going to the power options to disable "Adaptive Brightness" under the display settings but this option doesn't appear for me and I don't know how to access it.
I've managed to disable "Intel Display Power Saving Technology", but the issue continues.
I've already set my display to never turn off, the issue will occur whether I'm on battery or charging.

Is there a way to prevent my screen from dimming?

How to disable auto screen dimming?

Hello,

This issue could be related to the power plan settings on your computer. To help you out with your concern, we suggest that you try to disable the adaptive brightness on your power plan settings. To do so, you may follow the steps below:

• Type Power Options in Search/Cortana.
• On the left pane, click Choose when to turn off the display option to open the Edit Plan Settings window.
• Click Change advanced power settings to open Power Options dialog.
• Expand Display and then expand Enable adaptive brightness.
• Select the Off option for both On battery and
  Plugged in.

After disabling the adaptive brightness, check if you will still

experience the issue.

Keep us posted so that we can further help.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Can't disable auto-dimming from dark to bright background apparently

Hi there,

I would like to disable Auto dimming on my ASUS VivoBook S15 S510UQ, I tried to disable Adaptive Brightness from the Power Options and also switching off from Intel's graphic card control centre the Power Saving Technology thing but nothing changed.

Right now I am on battery, on sunlight coming from out of the window and I can see the notebook playing some funny stuff with the dimming anyway.

It seems to be related to when you switch from a dark background - say ACDsee photo viewer - back to file explorer that has a white background.

How to fix?

thanks!
