My issue: Intel "Display Power Saving Technology" refuses to stay DISABLED and it's the most frustrating thing! I go into the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel, Power Setting, select "On Battery" mode, and set the settings to "maximum performance", Extended Battery life for Gaming: Disabled, and Display Power Saving Technology: Disabled. However, IT DOES NOTHING! The only way it will stay disabled is if I select "Enabled" for both of the settings, apply, select "Disabled" for both settings, and restart. However, once I put the computer to sleep and wake it up again, Display Power Saving Technology shows "Disabled", but in reality, IT IS ENABLED! I know this because the screen will randomly change shades of colour when looking at different pictures! I can post a video showing exactly what I mean, but I hope my explanation was good enough.
What I've tried doing: Reinstall the WHOLE O.S Reinstall iGPU driver Reinstall Intel Control Panel Disable Auto-Brightness Get really frustrated and posted on this forum
Seriously, Intel Display Power Saving Technology is so fucking stupid and annoying, and I absolutely hate it. Having my screen change shades of colour when looking at different things is SO ANNOYING!
Anyway, I'm obviously posting here as a last resort and a plea for help. If I can disable "Display Power Saving Technology" via a Regedit, that would be amazing, but I have no clue how to do it, so i'd need an explanation or link to show me. I also don't have Group Policy's on Win 8.1 laptop because that's only a feature for Pro and higher, so I can't do anything that way, if that was an option.
I've tried that, and even changing some of the maximum performance settings as well (turning off sleep, etc), but it does nothing.
Eh, nah. I hate Win 10. I'd only ever use it if I had the Enterprise variant.
I guess it could be, but I don't think it would because it seems more like a software issue than a hardware. I have a feeling it's a bug to do with the specfic Intel Control Panel/Display Driver and when it goes to sleep. I'll probably try using older variants of the driver next.
When I had Windows 8/8.1 on my HP G6 laptop, I could not install the latest HD4000 driver; I had to wait for HP to release the driver. Are you installing a generic Intel HD driver, or the one from Dell?
I've tried both. Originally, I had Dell's OEM image on a 500GB Samsung SSD and only installed drivers via Dell's website. Recently, I downloaded the OEM Win 8.1 x64 image from Microsoft, and installed that onto a 120GB Kingston SSD. This time, I had used Intel's generic display driver, and the same issue occurred.
What I will try sometime later today is install an older driver (from about a year ago) onto the 120GB SSD, and see whether the issue still persists or not.
Go into 'control panel > power options > change plan settings > change advanced power settings > display > disable adaptive brightness' and set that to off.
I just finished installing different versions of the display driver, and none worked. I installed one from 2015, and one from May of this year. Both experience the same problem when I put the computer to sleep and wake it back up again...
