    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.

    Windows 10 Creators Update - lock screen timeout

    Before the Creator's update, I had my desktop set to turn off the display and lock the screen after 10 minutes. Now the display turns off, but the screen is not locked. I tried the suggestion:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type these commands and press Enter afterwards:
      • powercfg.exe /SETACVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_VIDEO VIDEOCONLOCK 60
      • powercfg.exe /SETACTIVE SCHEME_CURRENT
    • Note that the 60 is the number of seconds your prefer.
    • Exit Command Prompt and lock your screen. Observe if the changes will take effect.

    This does not lock the screen on my system. I rebooted after I made the change. I did change the time from 60 to 600.

    Lock Screen Dims (Brightness Auto Reduce at Lock Screen)

    Hi,

    Since you're having an issue with the brightness of your Lock Screen, we suggest uninstalling the display adapter from the Device Manager. Just follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Locate and expand Display adapter.
    • Right-click on the display device and click uninstall.

    Note: Please restart your computer after performing the steps above.

    If the issue persists, download and install latest display driver from the computer manufacturer's website.

    Please update us with the status. We will be glad to assist you.
