Windows 10: Screen Seems to Have No Control Options to Stop Dim/Bright on its own repeatedly?

I have an older Toshiba Satellite Home Edition Windows 10 laptop. While PLUGGED IN the screen brightens and dims about every 5 seconds. Unplug it, now on battery, it's just fine. I have asked this question in months passed and knowledgeable folks were not able to help me find the issue. Is the fact that it doesn't do it on battery and does when plugged in provide a clue? I am trying to turn off ambient sensors to see but the this home edition seems to lack every option that is suggested, they are just not present. I do have Group Editor installed. Is there a way to turn the sensors off there?

Screen dimming even at 100% brightness

Hi recently bought a Lenovo laptop, a Lenovo V14-ARE laptop, and as soon as I turned it on I noticed, when I put it on 100% brightness it is bright and vivid but then it dims. After a while, the screen brightens again then proceeds to dim once again in a
few seconds. When I plug it in to charge, the screen is bright and vivid but as soon as I unplug it, it dims. I already left clicked on the power icon in the task bar, went to power options and selected "choose when to turn off the display", clicked "change
advanced power settings", scrolled down to "display" and opened its list, but the only option I have for the display's list is "turn off display after", in the Youtube videos I've seen they have an "adaptive brightness" setting or something like that and that
fixes their problem but I don't have that option. My power plan is also in high performance and everything is "on battery" but the problem still happens.

Can this problem be fixed?

I've tried, there is no option to do so and alot of the suggestions I've googled are not available in the current windows settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
