Screen brightness drops during Remote Desktop

Screen Brightness Automatically Drops to Minimum Only During Remote Desktop Session

I'm seeking help with a frustrating screen brightness issue that occurs exclusively when using Windows Remote Desktop.

  • A Lenovo laptop running Windows 11 with Intel graphics.
  • I usually connect to my office computer via Windows Remote Desktop, my laptop's screen brightness automatically drops to the minimum level when I open documents in that environment. I have to be back to the main screen and scroll up but it will drop after a while. 
  • I have already contacted Lenovo support and worked through their suggested steps. As the issue is isolated to the Remote Desktop application, they believe it is likely related to Microsoft software or settings.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem in a Remote Desktop environment? If so, were you able to find a solution?

Thanks
