Control Adaptive Brightness in Windows 8

Have you installed Windows 8 on your machine? Windows 8 have Adaptive brightness enabled by default which will adjust the monitor brightness automatically based on power input and external environment. For my machine I found my display keep fluctuating its brightness and contrast so I was irritated with the fluctuation. To overcome this auto brightness adjustment I disabled this service. Follow the below steps to override the auto brightness adjustment setting in windows 8.
