Windows 10: Display brightness issue

My update history can be seen below. After these all updates I am facing an issue of brightness. My display brightness changes automatically when moving cursor from a bright color on the desktop to a dark colorIncreases when on bright color and decreases when on dark color. It also happen when I move my cursor over the task bar icons. But when the device is charging this is not seen it work fine. Also the display brightness changes very slowly when the color changes from dark to bright. Can you let me know that if it is due to these recent updates.
