I wanted to get back to any of you that might be following this issue(s) I've had with the laptop on/off even from shutdown, etc. I seemed to have found a fix. In the BIOS I decided to click on Defaults. I found one that said "Critical Battery Alarm" turned that setting off and it's been a...

Truth be told this is an older Toshiba Satellite, I guess they are out of the picture these days. I've had 3 satellites since about 1995 and this one was a rescue. I'd say this was state of the art when Win 10 was just new. But with the hack that everyone is aware of it's running win 11 just...

If I were to guess what did the trick I'd say I saw the best progress when I disabled the Scheduled Tasks that ran "when idle" ... so I guess I was the answer. But I wasn't willing to take the credit as I believed all the suggestions tossed in there to the end effect.

Really? Well I don't know which one specifically worked is that okay? I'd try one and then the other, and another and somehow it all seems to be equalling out it's behaving better but no specific one jumped out as the magic bullet. I can do no better than that. Apologies. ":-\\ :rolleyes:

This quote above is a snip from the original post. I was hoping replying to my own post this would be seen by all that have contributed. I believe all were helpful. At this point I'm watching, it seems to be acting more normal. I worked all your suggestions and added of myself, I mentioned...

I think I had disabled that in settings but I'm going to double check it and thanks

I will check that, since it was a "used" giveaway I just assumed it was OEM power supply. I'll look. I know I have another original A/C power supply Toshiba OEM from a previous satellite laptop. I'll also check on that and see if it matches polarity and input/output. Thanks, I'll get on this...

The battery was bought on Amazon and I have to admit I probably went cheap but there was good reviews? And as I recall it didn't start this behavior until let's see I went from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and it was fine and then 11 being new to me I did a lot of changes and I forgot where I was...

I'm not sure how I was offensive. I never, never try to be offensive with helpers ... never. AND, I did try your suggestion for a few moments, in fact many moments. I tried it over and over again. Sorry, it did not cure but thank you, and thank you! I only repeated what I said because I knew...

I have done so many searches on Google, and MS Communities but nothing has eliminated the issue. I feel I'll just have to work around it eventually. Thanks!~

=== me === I'll try to clarify this way. I don't carry it around; it stays put on a Kensington laptop type pedestal. I can't think how to more describe than what I already have without getting tangled up in the nuances of trying to type problems. Here's what I said above. > Laptop is always...

If this be so I will google how to turn off the ambient light sensors. It's is an older laptop so not sure if it has those sensors. Thanks a bunch!! Now my post got moved here and what I just posted was a different problem. I don't know why they moved me. The screen dim/bright issue is NOT the...

I have this continuing issue for near a month. I've tried myriad of suggestions and changes. I wouldn't be sarcastic to say I don't think there's a full answer? Many great helpers have posted helps. And I may see some betterment in the dim/bright issues repeatedly, mentioned in another post...

I appreciate that for sure. I'll check that out! Thanks!

Thanks! At this time it's all refreshed supposedly, and I have not made any changes to Power Options but I will check that asap.
