High Sierra version 10.13.4 does not retain monitor brightness after a restart. This is critical for photography. Has anyone been confronted with this issue and can it be fixed?
iMac Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)
10.13.6 finally fixes this issue! Or rather, the firmware update that's bundled with the software update fixes the issue. I guess they did not have time to finalize the new boot rom for iMac pro before 10.13.5 rolled out. Take a look at your Boot Rom version. It's now 15.16.6059.0.0,0.
By the way, I just ran the delta update, not the combo update, which is not out yet.
Cheers,
This is super annoying, dropping 8k on a machine that can't hold a calibration for professional photography is a joke. Apple you need to fix this for the professionals. I have spent a week transferring/setting up this new iMac to deal with thousands of images. Calibrated my display with DispalyCal only to have to guess the right brightness setting every time I use the iMac Pro, thus renders this machine useless for me till there is a fix.
Finally got around to applying the update this morning and yes, the issue hasn't been resolved. I'm starting to get annoyed as well. I have a call into them and I want to see if they claim the problem was addressed or is it still being worked on. I will get back to everyone with their reply.

Thank you @emoreno22 for taking the lead on this, actually contacting support and then sharing the results. It's greatly appreciated.
Excuse me but that seems like a lot of work for the end user to do to correct an Apple "F"up....
For the record my Late 2013 iMac 21.5" is doing the same thing. I remember this happening after another OS update years ago, someone dropped the ball someplace...
It should have popped up for everyone by now, I would assume. It popped up for me on all my Macs a couple of hours ago. The combo update is not ready. Just go to apple store and click on "check for updates". If it's not showing up for you, wait a couple of hours.
Since I've downloaded the high sierra software my laptop fan is loud. This is very irritating and it's also causing my laptop to move slow. Can you all fix this problem please. Apple I am really disappointed.
I'm having this same issue since the update. Not sure how to fix it either. I tried installing the combo update as well as reset SMC and NVRAM.
I have spent the whole day thus far trying to resolve the issue. It was working fine before the update. I have tried every possible option mentioned in previous posts and nothing has worked.
Eugene, if apple support provides a solution, I will post it immediately. I'm now scheduled for another call on Thursday.
Hi. How did your support call go? Did they have a solution, or at least own up to a screw-up?

Hi. How did your support call with Apple go on Monday? Were they at least able to give you an ETA on the fix?
This is interesting. When you reinstalled from scratch, you installed 10.13.3, correct. You then upgraded to 10.13.4, correct? And the brightness issue is still gone?
Also, were they aware that many others are having this issue? How does that jibe with a "rogue" application theory? Bizarre.
I'll throw my hat in on this one too. I keep brightness 4 notches from the highest setting, but after restarting it goes to only 2 notches.
So, 10.13.5 is out. Installed combo updater. The problem persists. I am livid.
monitor brightness changes after restart with High Sierra 10.13.4
