Automatic display brightness based on displayed content

Gemini17 — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:32:24 GMT

Hi, I am Kristian and I am running a ASUS TUF F16 with i7-13650HX with integrated Intel UHD Graphics and NVIDIA RTX4060, Windows 11 Home Version 24H2 OS build 26100.3323 Intel Graphics Software Version 25.6.1152.1, Intel Arc Graphics Driver Version 32.0.101.6632, GeForce Game Ready Driver Version 572.70.
The Laptop works with MUC switch and NVIDIA Optimus in optimised GPU setting, when the laptop automatically switches to the discrete GPU for demanding applications, and the integrated graphics for other tasks.
After the Intel Graphics Driver was updated to the version I mention above, the automatic display brightness based on displayed content turned ON. I was unaware the feature even existed, and it is super annoying. I am unable to turn it OFF.
I tried finding this feature in the Windows Settings/System/Display/Brightness, but there is no such feature as "automatic display brightness based on displayed content".
Then I tried reinstalling the Intel Arc Graphics Driver from Intel website.
There used to be a Display Power Saving Technology feature in the Intel Graphics Command Centre, System/Power/On Battery, set Display Power Savings to Off.
This feature is not there anymore on my version.
My Windows Settings/System/Power & battery/Power Mode is set for Best Performance on bot Plugged in and On battery.
Here is the best part, after every start, the automatic display brightness based on displayed content is ON, but when I unplug the charger, and plug it back in, the automatic display brightness based on displayed content is OFF. It is a mess.
I can bypass this whole affair with shutting down the whole Intel integrated graphics card and stay on the RTX4060 the whole time, but then the laptop has a really high power consumption and it beats the whole purpose of MUC switch and Nvidia Optimus.
I would really love to somehow turn the automatic display brightness based on displayed content OFF, and use both intel integrated graphics with the RTX4060 in an optimised manner, as before this damned update.

Hi Gemini17,

Disabling Change brightness automatically when lighting changes in Windows Display settings may also resolve issues with automatic brightness.

If this setting does not appear, we recommend contacting Microsoft Support or your system manufacturer for information on how to disable the Adaptive Brightness. Adaptive Brightness is a setting provided by Windows that uses an ambient light sensor in the system to automatically adjust a display's brightness to the surroundings.

You may follow this article for troubleshooting guide: Laptop Display Automatically Changing Brightness of Screen

Please note that Intel Graphics Software and Intel Graphics Command Center (IGCC) have different features after graphics driver updates. It is best to use IGCC to help isolate the issue. If the problem persists, consider contacting the device manufacturer. Let me know if this helps. Looking forward to your response.
