W510 - Where is the light sensor and how do I disable it?

NoName

The screen brightness constantly changes. It's annoying. It's not even touching the brightness setting of windows, which always stays at maximum, even if I just saw how it reduced the brightness.

So where is that sensor located (just out of curiosity, couldn't not find it) and how do I stop it from doing whatever it thinks it's doing?

 

*edit*

So it seems to use the front camera.

Disabling it should work. But how to stop it while keeping the camera working?

 

*edit2*

Nevermind.

Kind of missed the obvious that it could be a windows feature and not something that acer bloatware does.

Try disable it by the way -

Power options ->Change advanced power settings -> Display -> Enable adaptive brightness
