So I refreshed my system recently since it was having problems and since then every time I open a bright windows (example : Google Chrome) my display brightens. Same with something like steam only it darkens with darker programs.

I'm not actually on it at the moment at a different computer. But my laptop has 2 graphics cards one is an Intel and the other is a nividia 760gtx (Something like that I think.) I've read that there is something on an Intel card where it will do it to save power. So if this is the problem how to I turn it off.

Windows 10 BTW.

Also I've tried going to Power options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings
And turning auto adjust brightness off. Won't work.

Thanks
 



I'm not sure exactly what you mean by Model number.

Some of the specs I found is for the monitor

Name Generic PnP Monitor on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M
Current Resolution 1600x900 pixels
Work Resolution 1600x860 pixels
State Enabled, Primary
Monitor Width 1600

And my laptop is a Dell Alienware 17
 
Ok so I was messing with it eariler and somehow switched my default graphics card from my intel to my nividia and It just needed a reboot to switch over. So the problem is fixed since im running on my Nividia now.
