    Windows 10 dim screen except cursor


    I have a desktop PC connected to a TV via HDMI.The issue is as follows:The PC is turned on all day logged in with my user account, but the TV is either off or displaying other content, besides the PC input.Someone else selects the PC input on the TV and logs on with their user account, then they log off. without closing my session.When I log back in my session, the screen dims to about 50% except the cursor. It only happens when I'm back on my desktop, the brightness is fine on the windows log on screen and on the other user's session.The only way to fix this is by either logging off and bac

    Dim screen Win 10?

    Have read the blogs. Windows 10 needs to make it EASY for people to dim their screen. This is my 3rd Toshiba laptop and it was easy to adjust the screen on all 3 including this one, until windows 10. Will buy a new laptop without Win 10 before I'll go
    through all the steps to dim screen in win 10 that is listed in the blogs I've read. I did stall an APP that helped but screen still hurts my eyes and creates a headache. Anybody have an EASY answer. It was so easy to work with DOS and windows 3.1. It's been
    a pain for a lot of people ever since they came up with the REGISTRY. Thanks people.

    How to dim screen?

    I tried googling Windows Ten, "how to dim screen," but the layout listed is not the layout I have. I just got Ten yesterday. How do you dim the screen?

    I can't even find the options in the Display section.

    Windows 10 dim screen except cursor

    Moving cursor to edge of screen causes the screen to dim, help?

    Hi,

    It's really odd that your screen automatically dims when you move the cursor on each side of the monitor, and not when you have Edge open. We also want to let you know that we appreciate the things that you've done to resolve your concern. It could be the
    basic updates or the hardware itself of your computer system is the issue. However, we don't want to assume anything yet until we isolate your concern. Can you provide us the answers to these questions:

    • Which version of Windows 10 are you using (e.g., 1703, 1607)?
    • Does the issue persists before the updates have been installed?
    • Have you tried replicating the issue in safe mode?

    We're looking forward to your response.
