Windows 10: Laptop screen brightness goes down after I turn HDR off

Hello everyone,


I bought a new laptop Legion y740.

Everything is ok except for the fact that the screen brightness is very low at it's maximum setting.

If i turn HDR the screen is super bright and nice. When I turn it off it goes back to being dim even though the setting is at 100%.

I have updated everything I could but the problem persists.

Sometimes when i turn the laptop on the screen is bright without HDR. But if I change the brightness or enter a game it goes dim again.


Bonus problem: if HDR is on and I start Apex Legends the screen freezes and the laptop goes unresponsive but the background music of the game still goes on. Only a forced shutdown from the physical button works.


I hope anyone here can help because I am all out of options.

:)

 

HDR too bright

thanks I can reduce brightness from nvidia panel or even the monitor panel but no matter I get pain in my eyes only when hdr enabled

 

Unable to Change Screen Brightness of Laptop


So I'm not sure how long this has been happening but for some reason, I can't change the brightness on my laptop screen. I have linked a picture and as you can see, my brightness says 0% and that I can't change it, however my actual brightness is at 100%. I have looked around everywhere and the only responses I have found don't work for me. Here's a list of everything I have tried:
- Reinstalling Display Drivers
- Rolling Back Display Drivers
- Reset Settings on UWT4
- Power and Battery Settings
(UWT4 or Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 is a customizer for Windows 10 and I thought that might be the problem but it wasn't)

If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, it's greatly appreciated! Thanks! -

 

screen brightness on windows 10

Hi,

Some computers can let Windows automatically adjust screen brightness based on the current lighting conditions.

To manually adjust the screen brightness, we suggest following these troubleshooting steps:

• Click Start, then select Settings.
• Choose System, then select Display.
• Under Brightness and color, move the Change brightness slider to adjust the brightness.

Feel free to post back if you have other concern.
