I have tried all things suggested by Apple and still the com[puter would be dark on start up. I have narrowed down the problem. I first turned on automatic login (which disables Touch ID) and everything works normal Auto adjust brightness, Tru Tone checked on night shift enabled) but when I disable automatic login and turn on Touch Id Wuth Tru Tone checked the computer starts darker so if I uncheck Tru Tone the computer will work right. So on my machine I can either disable Touch ID or use Touch ID without Tru Tone. So what would the community suggest.
