Display too bright - preference can’t be saved.. MacOS Catalina

Every time I boot up my MacBook Pro 16, I need to calibrate my display... :-( The window at the back is the one in which the Mac was calibrated. And the one in the front is always the case after a reboot...

Is this a bug in MacOS Catalina?

Brightness control no longer working after Big Sur """upgrade""" I've decided to update my MacBook Air (11-inch, early 2014) to the new iOS Big Sur. Suddenly, I've realised that I no longer can control the brightness of my display. I now read in the macOS User Guide that: "You can’t adjust the brightness of some older Apple displays." What do I do now???? Buy some sunglasses to work on my MacAir??? PS - Please don't tell me that the only solution you have is for me to downgrade back to Catalina.

Auto-brightness broken and goes to max I have a 27" iMac 2017 and since I updated to Catalina whenever I restart the computer the display goes to max brightness. This is driving me crazy as I am a photographer and have calibrated my display and it is important that the display keep a consistent brightness. And max is too bright. I have unchecked the "Automatically adjust brightness" in display preferences. How can I get it to hold the brightness??

Brightness of external display changes on its own even though "automatically adjust brightness" is off I have a Macbook pro running Ventura and an LG UltraFine external display. I routinely calibrate the LG display using Colorite. Before calibration I check the display brightness and it is always set to the max. I need to manually adjust it back to the correct setting before doing the calibration. Next time I do to calibrate.. samething! Sometime since the last calibration the brightness has been set to maximum, which means at some point calibration became meaning less. "Automatically Adjust Brightness"is off, yet this is still happening. How can I prevent the brightness from changing on it's own?

Try resetting NVRAM.
