I got the HP Envy 15- j104na yesterday. After setting everything up I noticed that when I switched through web pages the brightness changed minutely on the display. Whenever I am on a dark or black website the screen dims and when I am on a white or light coloured website the screen gets brighter. It doesn't just apply to web pages either, the screen brightness changes depending on how bright the colours on the screen are.
Now the problem is that this is very noticible, it is not a subtle change and it is beginning to annoy me when I switch through web pages so much. I have tried absolutely everything to turn it off.
I have been through all of my power options, tried all of the default 3 settings, turned off adaptive brightness, changed the intel performance to perform the highest it can. All suggestions available online have not worked for me.
I even contacted someone from HP on chat, we were talking for about half an hour and they took remote control of my PC to fix it for me. They downloaded loads of stuff, changed about 5 different options but none of it worked. Eventually I just gave up because I had things to do. The last option I was left with was to completely factory reset the laptop and since I only got it yesterday I don't see how that will help!
I'm very tired already, the laptop cost me a lot and I am already regretting buying it.
Is there a way to disable this feature or not. People working for HP don't even seem to know how to do it and I will probably turn to another brand if it can't be disabled.
TL;DR: My screen brightness changes automatically, on dark screens it dims and light screens it gets brighter. I do not like it, is there a way to disable it. I have already tried ALL suggestions online and contacted HP with no luck.
Please help!
Thanks.
