Precision 3570 changes brightness/contrast automatically

In Windows 11 I turned off automatic brightness:

Unfortunately in a well lit environment, it still changes brightness depending on what's on the display and how it moves. It's very annoying, because the display looks washed out 9/10 times and it's very noticeable when it changes.

The only way to get rid of this unwanted behavior is to either sit in a darker environment or to cover the sensor:

Does anyone know a fix for this?

    Are you on battery power when this happens by chance? Check to see if this setting is enabled in Battery Saver settings (Settings > System > Power & Battery > Battery > expand Battery Saver).

    You may need to adjust when battery saver turns on as well. Can set it to Never, but obviously then it would drain faster.

    Edit: it seems like even covering the sensor does nothing.

    Worth it? What do you mean?
    To sit in a dark corner is not worth it.

    Hi, the laptop is indeed then running on battery, but it's not in power saver mode when this happens.
