Thanks for the advice!

When i move my hand towards the build in camera nothing changes, the brightness remains the same, its only when i turn my computer off and on it happens. When i turn off the electricity and run my mac on battery only nothing happens, brightness remains the same.

It seems like every time i turn my computer on it automatically adjust to the light in the room, but only at the time when the computer is turned on, not at any other time.

how I discovered this was by watching the bar in "system preferences - displays". I repeat that i have unchecked the box "automatically adjust brightness".
