Unwanted automatic screen dimming (MacBook Pro 2018)
Hello, owner of a brand new 2018 MacBook Pro here.
Since Day 1, my screen has been automatically dimming by 20-30% each and every time the computer either wakes from sleep or returns from a lock screen after a few minutes of inactivity. This is despite having "automatically adjust brightness" turned off in Display Settings. (Screenshot attached for confirmation.) This means that I need to use the touchbar brightness slider to manually increase brightness to a viewable level every single time I step away from the computer, which is quite irritating.
I have attempted to resolve by updating the OS and testing a new user account; this behavior still persists. I have seen other questions relating to similar issues going back several years, but there does not appear to be a clear resolution. Any advice? I would be very disappointed to see that this issue remains in the latest version of the OS and MBP line.
Thanks!
