Sony Screen Brightness Keeps Dimming - Windows 8

Problem:

You've installed or upgraded your Sony Vaio to Windows 8 and it keeps dimming the screen.

Cause:

The computer is set to "Detect the ambient light and automatically adjust the brightness of the display."

Solution:

• From the Metro screen, type in VAIO.
• On the left side of the screen VAIO Control Center should be at the top and selected, you can press ENTER or click VAIO Control Center to load.

• Click Display - it will expand and the first option will be Automatic Brightness Settings

• Uncheck Adjust brightness automatically
• Hold down the FN key and press the F6 key to increase the brightness and this time it will stay set.
