I recently updated to the new operating system by Microsoft from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I'm still really not sure what the difference actually is except the start button appears back in the toolbar and there are supposedly more apps in the Windows store. I have noticed that my laptop screen has changed some settings and the screen appears to dim and brighten itself. I found this to be really annoying so I have found the solution for this. Hopefully it doesn't cause many headaches for everybody else.
You can disable this feature which can be really annoying, I was starting to think I should get my eyes checked. This is also a known annoyance in Windows 8 too, I just probably haven't noticed it due to changing my power settings awhile back.
To disable the auto brightness feature in Windows 8
- Open the control panel by moving the mouse to the lower right corner which will pop up the charm menu
- Click on the settings charm
- Open up the control panel
- Click on System and Security
- Click Power Options
- Adjust your power plan by changing the power settings
