As the title states, it seems like theres two different profile alternating between normal windows and playing fullscreen games. I can't find where or how to change it or make them synchronize together. Whenever i play a fullscreen game, my display brightness changes from my normal brightness and when i alternate back to other windows that are not fullscreen, my brightness goes back to normal. Is there any way to get rid of this ?? The adaptive brightness has been turned off since the start

    Do all games display this full-screen brightness behavior? Jack E/NJ

    No, just some of the fullscreen games like Witcher 3, Osu and Path of Exile.

    >>>No, just some of the fullscreen games>>>

    Right click empty spot on desktop. Click graphics properties. Click display. Click scale full screen. Checkmark box for override application settings. Jack E/NJ

    Its still not working, theres still two different brightness when i play witcher and after i close it. The brightness bar immediately dropped from 100% which i set when i get into the game to 25% which is the normal brightness before i opened the game

    If you checkmarked the full screen box for normal 25% brightness to override the game setting, then isn't that what it's supposed to do? What am I missing here? Jack E/NJ
