Windows 10: display issues on old PC

On power up the screen is very bright. Restart or power down / restart and it comes up with the proper brightness.

It does the same whether the GeForce610 card is used, or removed and using the on-board graphics.

All drivers are up to date, I'm using the latest version of W10 Home 20H2 fully updated but its been the same for about a year.


A screen grab taken on the bright screen displays normally, so I've taken photos and tried to match exposures so you can see the effect.


Spec: Motherboard ASROCK Alive NF7G
CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Socket AM2

help please?
