MacBook Pro goes dark when using some AP such as Affinity, MacFamily Tree. I have tried every settings but can not find anything that will keep the same brightness when opening these APs.

Not sure what to say here...
For your third party app—if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates
ex MacFamily Tree Support

To trouble shoot further you can:
—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
