When will be the next update to fix the problem of missing the toggle to turn off the adaptive brightness in windows update 1809? This is a big issue for me in work.  Waiting for your immediate answer. 

I am Using Windows 10 64 bit and currently updated to build 1809 (latest)

Laptop: Acer Swift 3

Thank You!

    Maybe you can check to see if AMD graphics settings have an adaptive brightness option, it certainly should do. I guess you can try preview windows builds if not.

    hi,

    OK I had the older version I guess>>

    So I UN installed it and installed YOUR newer version above. not sure which is better because you lose the entire above but OK I did find the Adaptive brightness. When I set it on Battery the screen auto sets to 80% which is good>>

    BUT when I go to Plugged in and set that

    the brightness does NOT change when I Pulg it in. I still have to go to screen brightness and change to 100%.

    BUT when I UNplug it the brightness stays at 100% and does NOT go back to 80% as Adaptive Brightness worked BEFORE 1809.  BTW I'm on 1909

    now what??

    OK UPDATE. for whatever reason I reset the NEW app and retarted each time I delted and reinstalled.

    BOTH times now the Brightness from 80% on Battery to 100% on Plugged in WORKED. Even after restarts it worked.

    Great??? you would think. 

    I did a Create a restore point then shut the laptop down. NEXT morning the settings were all gone and to change brightness I had to manually do it. UGH.

    So I did s System Restore and wow the change worked as it should. GREAT??? you would think.

    Every time I shut the machines down the brightness change between battery and power GOES AWAY.

    UGH UGH UGH.

    UNTIL Windows pout BACK the Adaptive Brightness INTO Device Manager as previously posted... this power and battery issue will NOT stop.

    GIVE US THIS BACK PLEASE>>>

    Checking in with a Lenovo Thinkpad with the same issue.

    Why the !@!#@!@$@!R% did Microsoft think that taking away such a feature was a good thing? I have to wait for my screen to brighten every time it goes from black to something lighter than black (and guess what, I'm a frequent night-mode user whenever possible, so it happens a LOT).

    Just make my screen be the same damn brightness. 

    Oh, and for the record, it's not like disabling adaptive brightness ever did anything to stop this issue in the first place. 2 years I've been trying to find a solution to this mess of a "feature" and 2 years I've been frustrated. 

    It's enough to make someone switch to a Mac, and I really, REALLY don't want to do that.

    Just stop messing with stuff, Microsoft! You peaked with Windows 7 anyway.
