I'm having a frustrating issue with the brightness on my Asus Vivobook laptop running Windows 11. Despite disabling all auto-brightness settings, the brightness keeps increasing dramatically by itself, especially at night, which is really tough on my eyes. It seems to fluctuate significantly, even when I set it at lower levels. I've tried a bunch of solutions:
I've turned off automatic brightness options, disabled the monitor light sensor, and adjusted AMD graphics settings without any luck. I've even done a quick reset and reinstalled the basic AMD graphics driver. While using power saver modes and the night light feature provides a bit of relief, it doesn't fully solve the issue.
I've checked some other solutions, like creating a restore point, tweaking BIOS or registry settings, and even reinstalling Windows, but I'm hesitant since they could be risky. I suspect that content adaptive brightness might be contributing to the problem. I'd love to know what simple solutions others recommend to stabilize the brightness without causing major headaches. Any thoughts?

It sounds like you've done a lot of troubleshooting already! If the basic software adjustments aren't working, you might want to try toggling the 'Content Adaptive Brightness Control' (CABC) off in the graphics settings, if that's available. Sometimes this can help stabilize things. Also, checking if there's an updated driver directly from the AMD website instead of through Asus might yield better results. Finally, if all else fails, using a blue light filter app might alleviate eye strain while you figure out the brightness issue.
Have you tried manually adjusting the brightness in the Windows display settings? Sometimes the system can override manual settings due to adaptive features. You might also consider looking for any specific Asus software tools that help control brightness, though be cautious of third-party applications. Often just a fresh reinstall of graphics drivers can help, so if you haven't done that recently, it might be worth trying again without the latest versions, just like you mentioned. And definitely make sure to back up your data before messing with BIOS or registry settings; that's always a good practice.
