This tutorial will show you how to disable or re-enable the Adaptive Content Brightness feature in Windows 10 (build 21354 or higher). Starting with Build 21354 (Dev Channel) and later, Windows 10 includes a new option in the Settings app to disable CABC to ensure that the display quality does not change even when the device is not plugged in. If your computer screen randomly dims or rises in brightness, changes contrast, and experiences what appears to be graphical issues, it could be the result of CABC. For example, your computer might dim the screen when you are using a bright application, such as a word processor.

It extends existing screen brightness controls such as manual adjustment or adaptive brightness based on lighting conditions (automatic brightness).
