Just came back to say making my own power plan has now stopped the Intel HD grpahics changing back the setting I had a problem with and so far I am not having any issues with the screen dimming in and out of brightness.

Thank you for all your assistance, hopefully this thread will be found by many others who was expiercing the same problem.

Do you think it is conflicting with ACER power management? Is it fine to delete ACER power managerment?

Hi I dont know if you are there but I have spotted something.

When I open Intel(R) HD graphics pannel go to power and then disable the 'power saving technology and click apply then ok' this works for awhile however when ever i remove the power supply and re connect it re enables it does not stay unticked

Maybe has something to do with this models 'ambient keyboard light sensor' ?

When I type sensors in the control pannel it shows:

and when I click location settings it shows:

The link you posted quotes:

"Select the check box next to the sensor that you want to enable, or clear the check box to disable the sensor, and then click Apply."

But as you can see in the second screenshot there doesnt seem to be anything about sensors to untick

I appreciate your help but this seems liek a lost cause I wish I could just delete the sensirs somehow

Adaptive brightness sensor issue

YouTrippin — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 17:14:57 GMT

Hi,

I have a Aspire V5-571 running windows 8

My screen wont turn off auto brightness adjust so it keeps dimming in and out light to dark every minute highly annoying, this I believe is due to the adaptive brightness sesnor on the laptop.

I went to battery settings, change plan settings and advanced options and then turned off "enable adaptive brightness when plugged in or not"

However it still does it even with this feature turned off so I think maybe its something on my laptop doing this also?

I tried running on different battery plans high performance and balanced and it still happens.

I have also disabled the sensor monitoring service via the services.msc but it still dims out, the brightness dims when I minimize a browser to desktop then brightnes back up when i load the browser or some other application.

Thank you very much for any input.
