Title: Avast Auto Audjusting Screen Brightness
Post by: ravaelsaga11 on August 08, 2020, 03:49:05 PM

Okay, Firstly
I know For Sure that AVAST is doing it
I DONT Have any other antivirus
This only happens on Games, and other Fullscreen Programs


The Question is :
Avast kept auto adjusting my Screen brightness while I'm playing games, How do I disable it?
its a little annoying.

Hi, see if it helps to run the game/app in DND mode.

I Tried, didnt do anything that can resolve the problem

So far my solution is Killing Avast using task manager, which defeats the purpose of having Avast.

3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
