I am using Acer Aspire E5-511 laptop running Windows 10(Home Edition) October Update(re-released edition), I am facing 2 different problems
1. My laptop display brightness automatically going from low to high (but not maximum). I want to manage, I know this problem happens because of adaptive brightness, so I opened ” control panel > power options ” in balanced mode, selected ” change plan setting > change advance power setting ” but enable adaptive brightness not showing, this problem happens when display automatically off after 5 minutes (in battery) and after 10 minutes (during charge). How to disable auto brightness issue? My laptop display support Intel VGA display driver.
2. I edited some photos and printed, but printed photos showing in low light as compare to actual display light, how to fix this?
I am using Epson L485.
^^ 1. It seems an issue with the display driver or utility installed by your display driver.
2. You should check Printer settings while taking printout. All printers provide options to customize print quality, colors, etc.
