2. reinstall directx 9.0c from microsoft or filehippo mirror.
3. reinstall intel hd5500 gpu driver for windows 10 and restart computer.

Lenovo + Windows 10 it's "Hell on Earth" (I'm on Y560)
I'm thinking that is problem with ALS - Ambient Light Sensor and Smart Energy Management
I'm tested this problem on W10 and Ubuntu - both OS don't have specific driver and soft for this
On W10 random variations in brightness of the screen
On Ubuntu - continuous random variations in brightness of the screen

4 try reinstall EnergyManagement Driver, Software, and Intel Energy Management FrameWork and Onekey Theater (they need .Net 2.x OS will install it "on demand" and Visual C++ (see 1. in chiefputs's post)
5 + try use media keys Fn+UpArrow, Fn+DownArrow, Fn+F2

one a side note, it will be nice when most laptops come with Thunderbolt 3, then you can run external graphics.

I'm having this same problem. Same processor and OS as you too.

I have this problem too, with the same drivers as well. Screen turns dim in every game, even with the flashlight on and brightness set to the maximum value. Followed chiefputsipoopovich's instructions but it doesn't work.

Anyone solved it yet?

I've this problem too! Screen turns super dim and I can barely see anything in the dark levels even with the flashlight on. (End up firing my guns all the time to provide a little more light for me to see. Lol.)

I'm on an XPS 13 (early-2015 model) running Windows 10 Home Single Language. i5-5200 model.

Anyone found a fix yet??

Go to properties>set launch options

Key in '-autoconfig'

This should fix it
