disable Intel Graphics Adaptive Contrast Enhancement

[SurfOwner]

Hi,

How do I disable the Intel 4400 Graphics Adaptive Contrast Enhancement on my Surface pro 3?

Usually a laptop or computer comes with Intel Graphics Control software that allows changes to the graphics settings. This software comes with the driver installation. However, Surface Pro 3 doesn't have this software.

I'm curious what would happen if you went to the Intel site and installed their driver. I can't remember if this has been discussed elsewhere.

I tried installing the hd4400 driver from Intel.com. Surface has popup error blocking the install with message to contact the manufacturer.

Ah. "We have it how we like it, leave it alone!"

Check out this thread. Its the 3rd post. Its fairly easy! I've never used the driver sweeper part though. I usually just do step 1, 4 and 5

Search for user Goodbytes "Surface Tweak Tool" - it's the option that I went with due to simplicity. Or you may want to PM him to see which registry or driver setting he is directly changing with his tool. I was searching to do the same thing and the other options were downloading the latest driver from Intel and disabling Windows auto-updates because it will just overwrite the driver (not sure why it would not install for you but I did not go with that method) or there was a registry edit I believe also but I did not keep the link.

Goodbyte's tool worked for me but you have to be willing to trust a 3rd party...up to you. I did this so I could get a proper color calibration and it worked...before making the change with his tool I was getting bad calibration results.
