Windows 10: Undesired gradual brightness change after late August update

After the big update in late August, when my screen changes between displaying something dark and something light, it attempts to make the change seem gradual over a few seconds, which I don't want. How can I turn it off?


I'm on a laptop with dual Intel and NVIDIA GPU, I looked through their settings, but didn't find anything useful.


Thanks!
