    Hello Friends!
    Help me with this issue
    When I have white background color (for example in google chrome), my screen brightness increases automatically.
    When I open any application with dark colors (like Adobe Photoshop) sony automatically dims my screen maybe 30%
    where to kill this bug?

    Go to VAIO Control Center and Image Quality, there should be a switch under Display Brightness, just turn it off.

    There are 3 additional settings to deactivate for it to work properly -

    - Intel Graphics Settings
    - Windows Power Saving Options
    - services.msc

    (see guide for more detailed instructions)
