Disable Windows 7 mirror on desktop

I am trying to turn off screen dimming that occurs with windows 7.

Since I installed Windows 7 32 bit Professional (Build 7600) the screen darkens everything except the cursor when sound level of the office, or when I use firefox.  Sometimes, I can restore my brightness off connection then return by logging.  Brightness restores to normal when I play games.  I looked online and gone to control panel/power settings and control/display panel, but there is no option for the variance of y.  I also looked in the BIOS of my computer and did not see all the parameters are associated with dimming screen.

Hi Dejavutwo,

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

Auto dim or also called smart drive in Windows 7 is available in the computer systems that have hardware that supports this feature.

Please see the troubleshooting steps below that would solve your problem.

1. open the power supply Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.

2. in the current power plan, click change plan settings.

3. on the change settings for the plan page, click on change advanced power settings.

4. in advanced settings, pull down the menu, click view and see if you can find the dim function listed here.

You can change the settings because if dim Auto show display, accordingly, for what you want.

If you are not able to find this feature in the settings of your peak power plan, I suggest to create a power plan, to meet your needs.

Please see the link below to change, create, or delete a power plan scheme (plan power includes the behavior of Sun feature that you can configure).

  • Disabling Windows 7 using a desktop computer

    I am aware that the 'Stop' button can be clicked on the "Start" menu or the computer may be set to mode 'sleep' in Windows 7.

    However, can the computer be off directly from the desktop by pressing the power button on the computer or is 'stop' via the start menu, the 'good' way to do it?

    I always 'Shut Down' Windows XP by clicking on the 'Start' menu, but after the upgrade to Windows 7, I just asked if there was a shortcut to turn off the computer or if the same process applied.

    Never had so much confusion on the 3 keys of simple before :D

  • Disable the creation of files desktop.ini in Windows 8

    Hi all

    I want to know if this is a way to disable the creation of files desktop.ini, at least in the desktop system folder.

    I knew that under XP there was a DWORD key which should be created to avoid creating all the desktop.ini files in the computer.

    I don't want the desktop.ini file features (personalization of icon, remembering the last display in each folder options, etc.)

    So I don't want to hide the desktop.ini files. I want to remove them and avoid Windows 8 create again and again.

    If Microsoft has disabled this customization which was present in the earlier version of Windows and now is not available (to disable the creation of files desktop.ini) just say. If there is some other registry key to be created or modified, please advise.

    Thank you

    Pablo.

    Hi Pablo.

    I would like to inform you that the Desktop.ini is a system file that addresses common issues, such as downloads, Documents, photos and music etc. When a change is made in these files, Desktop.ini is updated.

    Deleting the file will cause problems with the operating system and it is not recommended to delete the files. The default desktop.ini a hidden system file and read-only attributes assigned.

    If you want to stop these messages, go to the files through Search Options, click settings and you will see the Folder Options, click on it and the view tab and scroll down until you see "Hide protected operating system files (recommended) and put a checkmark in the box."

    Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you further.

  • Disable Windows Defender

    I'm having the problem of Windows/McAfee.  If I disable Windows Defender, how can I go about deleting items in the start menu?
    Appreciate the help.

    Hi BurrowD,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    Are what McAfee/Windows problem you referring?

    You can prevent some programs from startup to startup Vista by checking to see if there is a shortcut in the startup folder by clicking Start > all programs > startup. You can safely delete or move icons on the desktop to run when you want.

    You can prevent some positions loading using MSConfig, this is however not the recommended procedure.
    You can click on start and type msconfig in the search field and click on the entry that appears near the top.
    Then click on the Startup tab.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Amelia,.

    Thanks for posting. Yes to install the OS on the laptop, you will need to uninstall it from your desktop computer. Also please keep in mind if Windows 7 came pre-installed on your desktop there is a good chance that the media are OEM. This would mean that the Windows 7 DVD that came with your computer may or may not work with your laptop.

    I answered his question and told him how to turn it off.  Not knowing its OS also I said to uninstall if you use XP.

    Hi Tedwards78,

    Windows updates are important for your safety and reliability of computers. Microsoft does not recommend disabling updates.

    You can hide some updates which you don't want to install but, disable windows update is not wise.
