The auto brightness "feature" of Windows 8.x is driving me crazy. I would like to switch it off on my Lenovo W530.

  • Adaptive Brightness is disabled in Power Options
  • the Sensor Monitoring Service is stopped and disabled
  • I checked all entries in the nVidia manager but found nothing related

Has anyone managed to disable this feature from hell?

UPDATE: following the discussion in the comments, I want to make clear that I do not want to disable automatic dimming to a preset level after a given time (which is useful). I want to disable the feature which dims the screen in and out whenever there is a perceived change in the ambient luminosity, or when I open a large dark window.

Yup, I know what you mean, and I did a search on my X220 before, here is the soluation:

Uncheck Display Power Saving Technology in Intel Graphic and Media Control Panel then you are good to go enter image description here

In Windows 10 and Lenovo Carbon X1, I'm able to do that by disabling the "Display Power Savings" under System->Power. enter image description here

I had a similar problem on my girlfriend's new laptop. You said you've checked all your Nvidia settings, but do you also have some integrated system Intel graphics? In that case, go check the Intel graphic card settings and make sure that "Power saving technology" is switched OFF! That made the job for me!

I don't know if you still have the problem since the post is pretty outdated, on my Lenovo w530 (equipped with NVidia Quadro K1000M) from NVidia Control Panel choose "Adjust Video Colour Settings", select "With the NVIDIA settings", Advanced Tab, choose "Full (0-255) as Dynamic Range and be sure Dynamic contrast enhancement and Colour Enhancement are turned off. Apply, RESTART (it does not change until you reboot). Hope it works!
