View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

If your laptop or tablet uses Intel Display Power Saving Technology (DPST) for power plans for your display brightness, the display settings may not work correctly if the device is switched between AC (plugged in) and DC (battery) power while Windows 8.1 is in Sleep mode. This behavior may impact the battery life if the DPST display brightness is not functioning as designed.
