Windows 11 Why does my screen keep dimming automatically?
My Windows 11 screen keeps getting darker randomly even when I’m not moving. I turned off adaptive brightness but it still happens. It’s really annoying when watching videos.

Go to Settings > System > Power & Battery, and under Battery, set Reduce brightness when device is on battery power to Never.
The good news is that on modern Windows 11 laptops, there are usually a few other "hidden" culprits causing this. The screen dimming you're seeing is likely a power-saving feature built into your specific graphics driver or a utility from your laptop's manufacturer.
