    Screen dimming booting into Windows 10 Education


    When I boot into Windows 10 Education the screen dims to about 60%. It's happening on the two computers now that have Education version installed on them. Screen brightness is set to 100% under both battery and plugged in power settings. Brightness set to 0 (neutral) in Intel display control panel. Then on reboot, it comes up at 100% brightness and immediately dims to about 60%. Only in Education edition. Windows 10 Pro boots up just fine at 100% brightness always.

    This happens on both clean installs and upgrades. I've even upgraded a perfectly working Windows 10 Pro, which was always at 100% brightness, to Windows 10 Education by changing the product key - first boot into Education and right into screen dimmed at 60%!

    I've never had Education edition installed before version 1703, so I don't know if this is due to Creator's Update or not.

    Anybody else see this?

    :)

    i can't change display brightness on window 10 creator update

    Thanks a lot!

    I got rid of the problem by freshly installing Windows and activating a Pro-Licence, not my Education-Licence.

    I've noticed the same. Only in Education edition, in my case starting from build 15063.

    It seems to dim immediately after user login. Within 1 second of typing the last number of my PIN, but not before.

    The same here, only with Education edition. In my case, on laptop with an external screen and extended displays, only the laptop screen is dimmed, external remains as I have set it.

    Thanx .. I still need to test it.. but cool that a newbie posts a solution rather than spam etc...

    FYI... after I restart Windows and get back to Linux login I get the dimmed screen .. I need to do a Fn+screen bright thing .. - only happens after a Windows session... really weird (tho' have been getting notifications about improve battery performance or whatever - even on AC)

    I get a yellow ! on the Defender on my laptop. It doesn't like that I have screen brightness set to full "on battery" and sleep disabled "on battery". This is 10 Enterprise. This only happens on the CU. I played with some of my power settings but have yet to get the yellow ! to go away. *Devil

    I gave up on running Education because of a "some features are managed by your company" issue.

    My next clean install will likely be back to Pro. I ended up on Enterprise as a result of doing some activation testing. Everything is working so I left it that way. One of the perks of being an MVP and having access to MSDN. Otherwise I'd still be running 10 Home, lol.

    I actually have a copy of Education I got through my school and was going to install it on my laptop, but reading about the Education CU issues, I think I'll pass.

    That said, I may put it on my backup system just for study/testing purposes. It'll be a clean install anyway being I'm upgrading the mobo, CPU, and RAM.

    Running pro on my main rig and laptop. Also currently running pro on the backup system.

    I think this is the best option you have. I have multiple issues with my latest build of EDU. For example, I am 100% sure that there is a similar service that is resetting my settings in Power Plans. I could set my "Turn of the display" to 50 minutes - for example - and after a reboot it will roll back to default.

    Later Edit: Can someone tell me what CU means? Google didn't help and I can't send PMs - Creators Update Screen dimming booting into Windows 10 Education :)
