I have a Dell XPS 13 (9350) running Windows 10 and I can't seem to disable the automatic brightness changing depending on what's on the screen. If the screen is primarily light the brightness will go up, and when it's primarily dark it'll dim. I'm having the same issue as outlined in these posts:

but none of the solutions given worked for me. In my Intel HD Graphics control panel there is no "Display Power Saving Technology" option, nor are there "On Battery" or "Plugged In" tabs in the power section. This problem persists on both battery and AC.

I am willing to reinstall drivers but I am not willing to reinstall Windows. I am also familiar with the command prompt and registry editor.

Thanks for any and all help!

  • For lots of Intel based laptops try this github script to edit registry keys to disable DPST https://github.com/orev/dpst-control – CeePlusPlus Apr 05 '22 at 22:19
  • In my case (Dell XPS 13 9310) it was caused by enabled HDR. – Qwerty Jun 22 '22 at 20:37

1.Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options, then click on "Change plan settings" next to your active power plan.

2.Click on "Change advanced power settings."

3.Scroll down to Display, then under Enable adaptive brightness, switch it off for both the battery and plugged in modes.

For me I had to disable it by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing "Intel(R) Graphics Control Panel" (it's only accessible from the desktop, not the Start Menu). "Power", "Display Power Saving Technology", "Disable". Hope that helps someone.

  • The OP specifically mentions an inability to access this setting in their question. I don't know whether they added that part after receiving your answer, but it doesn't look like it (no edits of the question showing for me). So the fact that your answer has gotten two upvotes within 1 1/2 months astounds me. – Kenny83 Dec 09 '20 at 20:34
  • It's not very obvious where the Intel Graphics Control Panel lives. I never would have thought to look on the desktop's context menu if it didn't appear in the Start Menu. And this page is the first Google result for this issue. So even if it doesn't help the OP, it apparently helped someone. – baochan Jan 29 '21 at 22:07

On Desktop PC, Nvidia gtx 1060, after a full day of trying to change the windows 10 power settings and after searching for registry solution on the net to stop changes in brightness depending on the screen contents and after a full day trying to solve this anti-usability "feature" , poor PC display stability due to this stupid auto-brightness, auto-dynamic-contrast , Adaptive Brightness persisted. lost a full day with settings, registry tweaking and so on hoping to solve this issue and to disable Adaptive Brightness, Adaptive Contrast .

Solved for me: In the end, for me worked this https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/auto-brightness-dimming-in-apps/td-p/9487179?page=1 by Gregbike: unistall the poor quality software MSI X Boost App, and the display becomes stable.

I finally found a fix for this. The setting is in the "Intel Graphics Command Center", which you can hopefully find by searching under the Start Menu. In the Command Center, hit the System tab on the left (the one with 4 boxes), and then click the Power tab at the top. Turn all this stuff off. Or just turn off the "Display Power Savings" option - that's the one that dims the screen when dark content is shown.

    If you can't manually find this option, try this github script to edit registry keys https://github.com/orev/dpst-control – CeePlusPlus Apr 05 '22 at 22:18

If you have an Intel Graphics Control Panel that looks like the one on the picture below, then you need to go to System → Performance and disable the Improved Energy Saving option (see the red circle). At least in my case, on HP ZBook Studio G8 running Windows 10, disabling this option caused the brightness changes to stop.
