First off, info on computer: This is an Asus Laptop running Windows 10 with an Intel i7-4720HQ Processor.
So this has been a recurring issue I've had with my computer for a while now, but depending on if something on my screen is inherently darker or brighter my screen would then dim or brighten itself respectively. I mean, already it makes no sense to dim already dark things to near unreadable levels and brighten already bright things to blinding quality, but what in the world is causing this to happen?
Screen Dims And Brightens Randomly Laptop
I've tried several things already through googling, such as turning off adaptive brightening, disabling Intel's 'Power Saving Technology', and disabling some 3rd party display programs. Nothing seems to be solving the issue as it keeps rearing its horrifically ugly head every once in a while which prompts me to double check if all the changes I've made are still there, which they are. It makes playing games and video watching a horrendous experience because of the constant brightening and dimming. Honestly, who in their right mind thought this was a 'good' addition to computer functionality?
Any help is appreciated.
