Windows 11
The HP Laptop 15 fd screen brightness resets to a different level after every restart or after waking from sleep. Windows 11 adaptive brightness and Intel display driver settings conflict with each other on the Intel Core i5 1335U platform, causing the saved brightness value to be overwritten.

Fix 1 — Disable Adaptive Brightness in Settings
- Settings → System → Display
- Find Brightness and turn off “Change brightness automatically when lighting changes”
- Set your preferred brightness level
- Restart and confirm the brightness is retained
Fix 2 — Disable Adaptive Brightness in Power Options
Search “Power plan” in Windows Search. Open Change plan settings → Change advanced power settings. Expand Display → Enable adaptive brightness. Set both On battery and Plugged in to Off. Click Apply and OK.

Fix 3 — Disable CABC in Intel Graphics Command Center
Right-click the desktop and open Intel Graphics Command Center. Go to Display → General and turn off Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC). This prevents the Intel driver from overriding brightness based on screen content.
Fix 4 — Update Intel Display Driver
Download the latest Intel UHD Graphics driver from HP Support for the HP Laptop 15 fd. The HP-packaged driver version includes brightness calibration data for the specific panel used in this laptop, which generic Intel drivers do not have.
