Everytime I boot up my PC the screen birghtness is set to 70% automatically. I think it has to do with a power saving feature but it's literally like this since I've installed Fedora 40. Sometimes in fullscreen applications after less than 10 minutes the screen will go black. (this bug happened after a later update) I've tried to disable the screen dimming after 5 minutes and 10 minutes turn off screen but this didn't help.

There are two different issues in this report.

1. The screen brightness being set to 70% brightness - this is what this report will focus on.
This could be happening because of a setting on your system.  Check "Change screen brightness" in Energy Saving and turn if off if it's on.

If this doesn't resolve the bug, we need information about your system, as in the bug template:

2. Sometimes in fullscreen applications after less than 10 minutes the screen will go black. 

This is a different issue, please search for an open bug report is this is still happening on your system. If there isn't an existing report, feel free to open a new one. Thanks.
