settings screen dims after 5 seconds
Hi, This is my first posting in this group. When I go to settings in Windows 10 (on my desktop PC) the background is dark and everything on the screen is easy to read. In about five seconds the screen dims so that it is very difficult to read. I can't seem to find in settings where I can change that and it is only here in the settings screen where I see the screen get dim. Thanks for any help. -- |

Have you been to Settings/System/Display and adjusted the brightness? |

This link will get you started on power settings which can cause you screen to dim if it's set to go into sleep mode - or - if by chance you have a monitor with a light sensor. http://www.dell.com/support/article/...Sleep-Settings -- Bob S. |

Checking the power and sleep settings they are 10 minutes or longer for each. -- |

Checking the power and sleep settings they are 10 minutes or longer for each. I found an acceptable work-around. Most desired would have been to discover the source of the screen dimming. When I went settings - Colors - Default app mode and I switched it from dark to light then there was no screen dimming. I'm fine with that but a little bit irked that nothing I could find online explained the dimming effect. Thanks again. -- |

I did not think about the Personalization feature for light or dark theme - especially since you said it was delayed 5 seconds before everything dimmed. Those are symptom's (delay) I see on tablets and monitors that have auto-dimming features. Here's a link for anyone else that may want to look into this: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html So we both learned something... -- Bob S. |
