Auto-brightness in Windows 11

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

Your issue may be related to Intel's Display Power Saving Technology (DPST). Disabling it can potentially resolve the problem. Here are steps to disable DPST:

1. Check Power Options:
   
   • Press Win + X and select Power Options.
     
   • Click Change plan settings for your current power plan.
     
   • Click Change advanced power settings.
     
   • Expand the Display section and locate Enable adaptive brightness.
     
   • Set both On battery and Plugged in values to Off.
     
2. Intel Graphics Command Center:
   
   • Open the Intel Graphics Command Center app.
     
   • Navigate to the Power section.
     
   • Disable any options related to Display Power Saving Technology or Content Adaptive Brightness Control.
     
3. Intel Graphics Control Panel:
   
   • Right-click on the desktop and open Intel Graphics Properties.
     
   • Go to the Power tab.
     
   • For both On Battery and Plugged In power sources, set Display Power Saving Technology to Disable.
     
4. Update/Rollback Graphics Drivers:
   
   • If the above options are not available, consider updating or rolling back your Intel graphics drivers:
     
     • Open Device Manager.
       
     • Expand Display adapters and right-click your Intel graphics adapter.
       
     • Select Update driver or Roll Back driver.
       
5. BIOS Settings:
   
   • Restart your laptop and enter BIOS setup (usually by pressing F2, Del, etc., on boot).
     
   • Look for an option like Dynamic Backlight Control under the Video section.
     
   • Disable this setting if available.
     

By following these steps, you can disable Intel's DPST and potentially resolve the issue you're experiencing with screen brightness adjustments.
