Why does the brightness still automatically adjust after turning it off (Mavericks)

macos macbook-pro display

I turned off automatic brightness adjusting in the display preference pane (as explained here). The brightness still adjusts automatically. If I have the preference pane open I can even watch the slider moving to the right. Is this a bug? I would like to set the display to a lower brightness to save battery.

This is a Retina MBP from late 2013 with Mavericks.


Solution 1:

Normally if the preference settings do not obey your wishes means your user profile needs repair.

Try using different user to test.

Try the safe mode to test.
