    Dull display on Windows 10


    This isn't the first time I've had this issue, and not sure how it was resolved last time. The desktop icons are "dimmed" and light up when I click on the start menu. This is particularly difficult for me as I'm visually impaired and brightness/contrast levels are crtitical. Some potentially relevant background:

    • Win 10 desktop, no light sensor on my monitor or anything.

    • Power settings set to "samsung high performance". Followed some goggle link and double checked adapative brightness and some other stuff hadn't been set incorrectly. It wasn't.

    • I occassionally switch to High Res theme, and have DPI scaling in place

    • I don't know for sure, but I think this issue resurfaced at around the time I updated my nvidia drivers.

    • When hunting for possible relevant menu options, I saw a "focus assist" item. I don't know if relevant, or what it does, because clicking on it leads to a "crash" (window just closes).


    Any ideas?



    ***Original title: Desktop "auto dimming" - not power option related***

  2. Dull screen needs help

    Bulldogxx I tried both ways suggested the article that offered step by step and neither system solved the dull colors, dull screen problem. All they did was rearrange my desktop. Any other suggestions?

    Sorry about the sassy rejoinder to your sassy remark, I think they are both funny now that I am old and don't take myself seriously.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
