Is 2015 Autopilot Maximizes Screen Brightness

Hi there,


I'm using IS 2015 with Autopilot mode on my laptop, and whenever I open a media file with Splash Pro or VLC, Bitdefender sets the screen's brightness to the maximum, which is very annoying and I have to set it back to a normal level every time. How can I disable this 'feature'? Not the whole Autopilot mode, because it can be useful (I think), the only annoying thing is the screen-brightness maximizer.


Thanks.

    This is the first time that I heard about this issue. Does this happen after when your computer is idle? If not, you might want to generate a log and send it to support to have this investigated. 1.gif

    Sorry for the long waiting, I reproduced the problem and sent the report to the support with the Support Tool.


    In response to the question the answer is no, Bitdefender maximizes the brightness every time, not only in idle mode.

    Here is the solution,


    The Bitdefender Antivirus had caused this problem by it's Active Profiles feature. These Active profiles changed power mode to High performance and increased screen brightness to the max while playing videos or playing games.


    To change the setting, go to:


    Tools > Profiles > 'Configure' in Movie Profile > Uncheck "Adjust Power Plans for Movies"


    … and save.


    It works for me !
