AskWoody LoungerTry this link. Hope it helps. Your new mouse might be listed under “keyboards” for device manager. https://www.technipages.com/stop-mouse-from-waking-up-windows-10-pc/
I disabled the Keyboard “allow device to wake computer” setting and that fixed the problem!
Interestingly, the keyboard will still wake the computer. Odd.
Thanks

Report here.
cheers, Paul
I’ve got this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /waketimers
Timer set by [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (SystemEventsBroker) expires at 7:59:29 AM on 7/4/2023.
Reason: Windows will execute ‘NT TASK\Hewlett-Packard\HP Diagnostics\BatteryStatusTest’ scheduled task that requested waking the computer.Thanks

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

AskWoody LoungerI’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 LoungerPerhaps 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 LoungerI 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 LoungerI’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 LoungerI 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 LoungerThanks 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

AskWoody LoungerThanks 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.

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