    I'm using Laptop Acer Swift 3. And thanks for the correction Sir, appreciated.

    I just updated the version yesterday because it is available in the windows update. Then after it was installed and restarted the laptop. Brightness became Dim even it is in 100 percent. And found out that adaptive brightness was missing in the display in the advanced settings in the battery. I search in the google and also found out that it is also the problem of the others who updated their version of Windows. So, I wanted to ask, when is the possible release of updates to fix this concern?

    Thank You!

    Just wanted to update this thread since I have been dealing with this auto dimming/brightening (adaptive brightness) issue for 3 weeks since getting a Dell Inspiron 7786 laptop. It was driving me absolutely crazy! After researching it myself and then going back and forth with Dell support for almost a month, the solution that finally fixed this annoying issue was to enter the BIOS (restart computer and press F2 at startup), click the Video dropdown menu and disable the "Dynamic Backlight Control".  This finally fixed the problem for me and hope it can help others.

    THIS FINALLY FIXED IT FOR ME!!!!!

    I was able to disable adaptive brightness from cmd and right when I disabled it my screen lit up!!

    Open cmd and type this in:

    1. To Disable - On battery:

    powercfg -setdcvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT 7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99 FBD9AA66-9553-4097-BA44-ED6E9D65EAB8 0

    And press enter

    1. To Disable - Plugged in

    powercfg -setacvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT 7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99 FBD9AA66-9553-4097-BA44-ED6E9D65EAB8 0

    1. To apply changes:

    powercfg -SetActive SCHEME_CURRENT

    And press enter!

    If you want to toggle back adaptive brightness on, change the the last 0 to 1.

    I had this same issue until today, I went to Setting, Troubleshoot and then Power. It fixed the issue for me. The display is now dimming when it goes on battery. Battery saver is not enabled.
