The Effects of Auto-Brightness on Mac Brightness Despite Being Turned Off

There can be several reasons why your Mac brightness keeps changing even though auto-brightness is off.

It could also be caused by an issue with the firmware or software that controls the brightness of your display.

Stopping Automatic Brightness Adjustment on a Computer

To stop your computer from automatically adjusting brightness, you’ll need to adjust your display settings. To do this, select the Start button, then enter settings. From there, select Settings > System > Display. In Display settings, select Brightness and uncheck the box labeled “Help improve battery by optimizing the content shown and brightness”. This will stop your computer from automatically adjusting brightness and allow you to manually adjust it according to your preferences.

The Consequences of Auto Brightness Being Off

If your screen is still dimming with auto brightness off, it could be due to either a hardware issue or an issue with your power settings. If the issue is with your power settings, it’s likely that the Low Power Mode has been activated, which reduces the display brightness to save battery life. To deactivate Low Power Mode, go to “Settings” > “Battery” and turn off the switch for “Low Power Mode”. If the issue persists after doing this, it may be due to a hardware issue and you may need to take your device to a repair shop.
