Can't find Automatic Dim in Win10

[DaelpixPhotos]

I'm having problems finding the automatic dim option in Device Manager.

I'm fed up of the screen dimming all the time and it's only done it since it was updated

(Windows 10 Version 1903)

Ooo, interesting, I haven't come across that on my devices yet, but interesting it was automatically applied on yours.

Follow this article, should help:

How to Disable Adaptive Brightness on Windows 10 for Maximum Screen Brightness

You're smashing your keyboard to increase your screen brightness, yet it won't go any higher, but you know you've been able to set it higher before. Angered by this, you get up and move your laptop, only to suddenly notice that the display does in fact get a lot brighter.

I have no option for that

I have no option for that

In that case perhaps it's the night correction that happening...

Right click on the desktop and select "display settings"

Make sure "Night Light" is disabled.

I can't think of any other settings that would adjust brightness.

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Yes it's disabled

 

[SpyderTracks]

Yes it's disabled

Perhaps it's a setting on the actual monitor then as I don't think there is anywhere else that automatic dimming is set in windows....

Is it still that AOC screen? Do you know the model number?

Doesn’t matter, it’s enabled by default.

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

It's not activated

It's not activated

In that case I have no idea other than an issue with the monitor itself.

Just writing out a list the things I've tried from looking on the net

1. Screen brightness in bottom right isn't there
2. Going to the Power Options and finding 'enable adabtive brightness' doesn't exist
3. No option in NVIDIA Control Panel
4. Going to Updates & Security and running the troubleshooter doesn't do anything and just resets the sleep options (which I've changed back)
5. Finding the thread in the Registry, doesn't exist (https://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-10-adaptive-brightness-not-working)
6. I keep my GPU up to date
7. Updated my monitor driver, and still does the dimming

Most of those options are only available on laptops or portables which is why you’re not seeing them.

Check the OSD settings of the monitor, I don’t think it’s windows that’s changing the brightness.

Where do I find the settings?

The normal on screen display settings. Have a look in the manual if you’re unsure.
