Brightness dims after user login upon KB5030310 installation on a PC with AMD Radeon RX550/550Series
- I found a temporary solution! Just turn on the HDR then set the "SDR content brightness" slider to minimum, turn off HDR and voila, no more need sleep to have normal brightness. I'm now on 23H2 with RX560.
Hello and hope all is well. I had the same issue with brightness/darkness.
Installed latest window update on 5 machines, 3 desktops, 2 laptops. All went well except on one desktop where all three attached monitors came up very, very dark - on all machines, desktop icons now had shadows. Uninstalled the MS update, KB5030310, rebooted, all was well/back to normal.
Reinstalled the update, KB5030310, same issue. Uninstalled, back to normal. Set window update not to download and install any updates.
Noticed another update on another PC was avail, KB5031354, let that download/install, same darn issue, monitors got very dark....hmmm...what the heck was going on?
My video card is a AMD RX580. Had not updated the adrenalin software in 6 months, didn't see a reason to...got me thinking...so updated to 23.9.2, reinstalled KB5031354, crossed my fingers, rebooted...and all is GOOD.
Seems the answer is to update the video drivers/software suite, at least on an AMD Radeon card. Oh yeah, the other pc's all had their video drivers updated before the window updates were applied - all AMD Radeon machines.
Oh, the desktop icon shadows have not gone away.....still there on all 5 of my machines, yes, tried registry, everything, nada.
- Hi, I have installed KB5030310 (& KB5031354 but it is not the one that is responsible for the problem) and the dim effect after login is back again. I have updated AMD Radeon RX550 drivers to the latest 23.10.18 version but it does not solve the problem. If I turn off monitor and turn it back on again dimming is gone. So I have decided that I can live with that, meaning to turn off and turn back on, until problem is solved by some windows or AMD update.
