AskWoody PlusContent adaptive brightness?
b,
I see now you recommended this setting earlier but somehow I missed it.

AskWoody PlusI’m not sure if my dimming problem on the Lenovo Yoga 7i was the same as yours, but it quit for me when I went to settings > display and unchecked “Help improve battery by optimizing the content shown and brightness.” in the drop down menu under Brightness.
This fixed it for me!!
Thanks so much, Tiny.

AskWoody PlusPerhaps it’s a Lenovo thing rather than Windows. What model is it?
There’s a recent critical update for Thinkpads:
It is a Lenovo Yoga 7i
Thanks

AskWoody PlusI just did a bunch of typing in Word. As I type the brightness varies up and down. When I stop typing, it stays at the highest brightness level. Weird and distracting.

AskWoody PlusI’ve also tried updating the Display Driver but it says I am up to date.
In that dialog it offers to check Win Updates for other drivers. I found 4 called Lenovo System update, did all 4 but no help.

AskWoody PlusI tried the setting suggested by PKCano, did not help.
I followed all the links suggested above, but still persists in happening.The screen changes brightness, going dim a bit, then coming back up, on its own but it happens when I perform an action like deleting or moving a file. But it is not repeatable, I can do the same action again and it may not dim the next time.
From reading some of the links above, this seems like the adaptive brightness feature, but when I look in Advanced Power Setting/Display, the Enable Adaptive Brightness setting is not shown there.
When I just opened Control Panel, the screen dimmed for about a second and then came back up. Repeat that action and it does not happen.
When I click Start, it dims and stays dimmed until I move the mouse. But repeat that action, nada.
This only happens when I am on battery power, but it is not related to low battery, since it happens at all battery levels, even 90% charge

AskWoody PlusThanks for information.
We eventually were able to futz around enough that we finally found the right combination that allowed us to remove Hello. Can’t say I know exactly what is was though. But all is good now. Thanks

Vincenzo
AskWoody PlusThanks for that link.
I have already done a similar process. But when I clicked on “Sign in with a local account instead.” and entered the name I wanted for it, that is when it put me into the loop where it wanted me to setup Windows Hello and required the previous Windows Hello PIN which we don’t have. And telling it “I forgot the PIN” just kept going around in a circle and asking for the PIN again.

Thanks

AskWoody PlusBut since I see you said you want to update it occasionally, some kind of 3rd party software might be a better choice anyway.

AskWoody PlusI couldn’t answer that with confidence so I just tried an export/import test and it is giving me errors. I’ve tried it 3 different ways with small test folders/subfolders but it keeps failing. So I don’t have an answer for you. Sorry
-
Vincenzo
AskWoody PlusYou can pick and choose which folders you want to export

Vincenzo
AskWoody PlusI know that the calendar and contacts are done separately.
But I’ve never had a problem doing all the emails.
Is it balking at the size or quantity of emails you have?
-
Vincenzo
AskWoody PlusI current have Outlook 2013 and have a huge archive in PST format that I would like to convert to something that can imported to Mozilla
Why not use your current Outlook to export the emails to a .csv file?
You should be able to do custom mapping of the fields if that is necessary.Contacts would have to be exported in another step.
Edit: I just re-read your OP where you said you want to update it occasionally. Some kind of 3rd party software might be a better choice then.
