    I have installed Windows 8.1 Pro, all the drivers and utilities. Maximum brightness is to bright for me, so i set it to 70%. But when i reboot my system i got 100% brightness, however windows tells me, that i am at 70%. Autobrightness is off.

    Update!
    Found a solution! It was necessary to turn off Sensor monitoring service

    I have msdn release. Works really great on my UX31A! I have only 1-1.1 Gb of used ram on system startup. With Win7 i had 1.5-1.55 Gb. It ain't enough, when you wan't to run VMWare + browser + VS

    The drivers are the same, they will just be listed as for 8.1, although previous "8" drivers will still work.

    Bought myself UX21A and it has this issue - maximum screen brightness after reboot. I've disabled sensors monitoring service, however this doesn't helped. Any other idea?

    Found a solution. It was necessary to install latest drivers from Asus support site. Than i've turned off auto brightness in intel graphics control panel and rebooted my laptop - everything works well. So i've removed this drivers, rebooted and installed latest beta drivers for Win 8.1. Everything works well =)
