I've noticed that when I minimize all the windows the screen brightness is progressively getting lower, and when I open any window the screen brightness gets brighter...
Is this normal?
Should I exorcise the computer?

Do you have a dark background, bright windows, and a monitor with fancypants "dynamic contrast"?
|

dark background. Yes.
bright windows. Yes.
Dynamic contrast. ?¿?¿
No idea...
but I've searched it in the www's and it looks like the Intel card makes something fun...

Does your monitor have a small circular vaguely translucent white piece of plastic about 1/2 cm in diameter somewhere on the bezel?

Yes. The exact rite depends on the religion your computer professes...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

No need to go through all of that trouble and expense.
Just use a ducking stool - will fix problem PC's (especially iProduct) every time.

Nice to know there is something that works for those eyeProducts. Been having a bit of an infestation myself and you got to get to work quickly before they spread. So far our computers has been clean but a tablet recently got hit by some severe eye problems.

Microsoft did realise, I assume, that most people will remote into their 2012 Server and that full screen metro windows that really work best with touch and block all other controls are kinda dumb.
Thank you Mr Sinofsky. No, really.

No, but it took me 4 years to finally crack. I've worked around it and finally, today, it was all too much.

My next/new development machine has Windows 2012 R2 Server installed as the primary OS ...
I'm guessing I eventually will install something like Start8[^] - used it before, turned Windows 8 into something that worked quite well ...

We're just about to install Server 2012 for a customer system, so your words don't exactly make me leap for joy, because we'll have it all to deal with, over the next six months.

Go for R2 - it has the start menu to use...

You're absolutely right:
See nothing that customers need.
Hear nothing that customers say.
Say nothing that makes a twizzle of sense to the people who give you all your money.

Not to mention that every switch between metro apps and the desktop ones cause the entire screen to repaint which, over a slow RDP connection, makes everything rather unbearable.

I hope and suppose they fixed it in Windows Server 2016, just like they did in Windows 10?
Meanwhile, that is the Sinofsky legacy, deal with it!
