When plugged in, battery saver turns off, but the screen brightness stays at the battery saver brightness

For my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5i), I have these battery saver set so that it turns on at 20% and lowers the brightness of my screen when it turns on.

Then, whenever I plug it in to charge, the battery saver turns off--this is normal

My main issue is that when the battery saver turns off after plugging the device back in, the screen brightness will return to normal for a very brief moment, then return back to the brightness level when in battery saver mode (at this point, the battery saver is off).

What I've tried:

• I've tried manually turning off the lower power mode. When doing this, the brightness returns to normal, as intended.
  

So why does this not work when the battery saver turns off due to the laptop charging? And what can I do to resolve this?

 

what does the battery saver actually do?


To be 110% honest, I wouldn't even care to consider using that option.
I am most certain that I will know when my laptop battery is getting low.
And when that happens I will take step to recharge it.
Will you ?

Furthermore, Battery Saver will turn on automatically when battery level is below 20%. That's good enough for me.
