Someone should really sticky this issue as it has been revisited quite a few times in these forums. It's the final step in the tutorial (outlined above) that resolved it for me. The nice folks at posted a nice tutorial here, but if you're like me, you tried everything to no avail.
Once you're in the Intel Graphics GUI, go to Power->On Battery->Turn OFF "Display Power Saving Technology." Depending on your driver version, this GUI may vary in appearance, but ultimately you're wanting to find and turn off "Display Power Saving Technology.".You can also right-click on your desktop and select "Graphics Properties," but make sure it has the "Intel" logo next to it.
Go to the Windows Start Screen and search for "Intel." Under "Settings" select either "Intel HD Graphics" or Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel" (there are numerous ways to get to this setting).If you have Intel HD Graphics on your notebook, the driver GUI is likely overriding all of the Windows settings you're trying to change. Jowelboy, if you're still around, I found a solution. I have tried this with the brightness control set as high as it will go, and at various levels but still seem to get the same result.Īny help would be appreciated. It feels as though the brightness is auto-adjusting depending on what is on my screen, but I can do that myself with the brightness control!! Its extremely irritating and I cannot find any settings associated with this. I also notice, it is not just the window that brightens up, but the lighter areas of the background also brighten at the same rate. It takes about 3 - 4 seconds for the brightness to stop increasing. Ive a brand new HP Pavilion 15 and Ive noticed when I open a window or the screen changes from a dark to a bright image (for example, whilst watching video), the brightness adjusts in half-second increments.įor example, with a dark background image, I open a window, I can see in the white area of the window, half a second after opening it, the brightness of the 'whiteness' is rather dull and in stepped increments, it gets brighter and brighter.
