How to stop the screen from dimming?

Dear Cynthia_Moore,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community



I understand the frustration you're experiencing with the unexpected screen dimming on your MSI laptop running Windows 11. Based on your detailed description, it appears that the issue may stem from settings or features designed to conserve power or enhance user experience.

Windows 11 includes a limited number of built-in options that could affect screen brightness. Below, I've outlined troubleshooting steps categorized into both Windows built-in and third-party considerations:

Windows Built-in Options:

1. Disable Dynamic Lock: Dynamic Lock may be causing the screen to dim based on your movement.
   
   • Navigate to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.
     
   • Scroll down to Dynamic lock and uncheck "Allow Windows to automatically lock your device when you're away."
     
2. Disable HDR: Even if you're not familiar with HDR, it's worth checking its status.
   
   • Go to Settings > System > Display.
     
   • Look for an option labeled HDR. If enabled, try turning it off to see if it resolves the issue.
     
     
     
     
     
3. Adjust Adaptive Brightness (if available): This setting can sometimes affect screen brightness.
   
   • Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings.
     
   • Click on "Change advanced power settings" and navigate to Display settings. Ensure "Enable adaptive brightness" is turned off.
     

Manufacturer-Specific Programs and Settings:

• Check for Display Driver Updates: Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date by visiting the MSI website and downloading the latest driver for your specific laptop model. If already updated, consider reverting to a previous driver version to test for persistent issues.
  
• Review Manufacturer-Specific Settings: Utilize MSI software such as Dragon Center or MSI True Color to inspect for any power-saving or display-related settings that may be influencing screen brightness.
  
• Update BIOS and Firmware: Update your laptop's BIOS or firmware through the MSI support website, as newer versions can often resolve hardware-related issues.
  
• Adjust Intel Graphics Command Center Settings (if applicable): Open the Intel Graphics Command Center from the Microsoft Store and navigate to System tab > Power tab > Turn off Display Power Saving.
  

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be beneficial to contact MSI support directly for specialized assistance, given their expertise with the hardware and Windows 11 compatibility.

I hope these steps will help in resolving the screen dimming problem. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require further assistance.

Screen dimming after 20 seconds

This just started today, but my laptop screen dims every 20 seconds if I'm not doing anything. Doesn't matter if I'm gaming, watching a video or whatever, if there's no mouse movement or key strokes, the screen dims from it's highest to lowest setting without fail.

I've tried adjusting the power options, ensured that 'turn off display' and 'sleep' are set to 'never' for all settings, confirmed my drivers on my GPU are up to date, ran all Windows updates, checked the registry and confirmed that the brightness settings are set to %100... I'm at a complete loss as to why this is happening. What's even more strange is that nothing, that I'm aware of, updated today or yesterday, but the issue began as soon as I started my laptop this morning...

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to stop this, I'd love to hear them.
