1] First of all visit the manufacturer’s website and update your video and graphic drivers, for your model.

2] Open Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings and restore the default power plan settings by clicking on Restore default settings for this plan. Do this for all your Power Plans.

3] Disable Adaptive Brightness and see. Open Control Panel > Power Options. Open your active power plan and select Change plan settings option to open the Edit Plan Settings window. Now click Change advanced power settings option to open the Power Options dialog. Next, expand Display and then expand Enable Adaptive Brightness. Set it to Off.

In the right pane, if you see a scheduled task called BrightnessReset, double click on it > Properties > Triggers tab > Edit. Now disable it and see if it works for you.

If it does not help, you may re-enable it.
