Windows 10: how to turn off adaptive brightness with no options to do so in the settings

i just recently updated w10 on my old laptop and i just noticed, who the hell thought that implementing adaptive brightness on default is a good idea? it's fucking my eyes up from the fluctuation of brightness levels whenever i switch apps and sites with severely contrasting light/dark themes

it can't be adjusted in the settings and control panel either. all the fixes i've looked up online have mixed receptions. any input is greatly appreciated.

Brightness keeps changing automatically. Adaptive brightness option is not there in the display options

My display brightness keeps changing every time i switch between different apps. I've been having this issue for a long time.

I'm using HP Omen Laptop. Windows 10.

I saw another thread with the same issue but was unable to reply in it.

I followed the steps that said the following:

*As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to follow the below steps to disable the adaptive or auto brightness for the selected power plan (if you already have a Power Plan created in Windows)

• Open Control Panel and click on Power Options.
• Open your active power plan, you’ll see Change plan settings option. Click Change plan settings next to your current power plan to open Edit Plan Settings window.
• Click Change advanced power settings option. This will open Power Options dialog.
• Expand Display and then expand Enable adaptive brightness. Change it to Off*

But the problem i the option "Enable adaptive brightness" is not even there.





So What do i do now?

 

No options to turn OFF adaptive brightness / no power slider

Hello everyone!

I'm stuck with a very weird problem I can't solve. I'm not a full-on reading binary style tech person but I'm using computers (and fix their problems) since forever and never ran against a wall like this:

My Dell M3800 laptop turned on the adaptive brightness feature again that I disabled almost three years ago. Now it's pretty much useless in dim environments because the screen gets so dark. Also every option windows normally has to switch it off is gone. Not greyed out, it's just not there (Both in the legacy power options and in te new UI).

Around the same time it happend that windows decided to get rid of the old power profiles and instead only show the "balanced" one that comes with the power options slider when you click on the battery icon in the tray. I had that briefly and then the slider disappeard along with the option of turning adaptive brightness OFF.

This makes me MAD.

• I deleted and restored the default power plans in several ways
• I changed all (all I found, though) corresponding registry entries to disable adaptive brightness
• I checked the registry for the the option to show the switching-option being ENABLED
• I even stopped the windows service for the ambient light sensor

No change. Any Wizards around? *Shock

How to turn off adaptive brightness?

Hi, I have a Windows 10 laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8130U CPU @ 2.20Ghz that I just got a week ago.

The brightness keeps dimming with darker images being displayed and brightening with lighter images. I've googled solutions to this problem and none of them have worked.

• I've updated the graphics driver
• rolled back said driver
• tried looking in the BIOS (which there are no brightness settings anyway)
• restarted the laptop
• shut down and turned on the laptop
• gone into power settings and turned off adaptive brightness On Battery and Plugged In
• tried downloading a new graphics driver
• looked into windows settings with no checkmark to disable adaptive brightness
• turned on high video performance
• tried to find Adaptive Brightness in services and disable it (it didn't seem to exist)

almost everything I've seen but none have helped. the laptop is for work and entertainment and I'd like to use it at full brightness most of the time, please help.

Thank you in advance.
