Hello JharpJ

Thank you for your response

In order to start finding a solution to the dim situation you are having please follow these steps:

I notice that there is a newer version of graphics drivers, you can follow these steps to complete the update:
- Please follow these steps in order to update the graphics driver:
- 1. Download the graphics driver ZIP file: https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27412/a08/win64_15.60.2.4901.zip
- 2. Unzip the file to a designated location or folder.
- 3. Right-click Windows Start icon and open Device Manager.
- 4. Click "Yes" when prompted for permission from User Account Control.
- 5. Expand the Display adapters section.
- 6. Right-click the Intel® graphics entry and select Update Driver Software.
- 7. Click "Browse my computer for driver software".
- 8. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
- 9. Click "Have Disk".
- 10. Click "Browse".
- 11. Access the designated location or folder, and access a folder called "Graphics".
- 12. Select the file called "igdlh64" or "igdlh".
- 13. Click Open, then click OK, and finally click "Next". Drivers are now being installed.
- 14. Reboot your computer.
Once update is complete review the power options on Intel® HD graphics control panel, to access it, use right click on your desktop go to graphics settings on the power section and disable these options (see attached picture)

Make sure that the brightness configuration on Windows® is the same when the computer is on battery and plugged in.
- Go to search bar, type "Edit power plan" configure brightness on the same level
