Disabling Display Power Saving Technology in Intel Graphics Control Panel on Mac Mini

Are you tired of dealing with the annoying display power saving technology feature in your Intel Graphics Control Panel? If so, this article is for you.

As a Mac OS user with the latest updates installed on my Mac Mini, I recently encountered an issue that was frustrating me. When using Windows 8.1 through Bootcamp, I experienced a brightness flickering when switching between dark and bright windows. After searching for an entire day, I discovered that the culprit behind this issue is actually a 'feature' of the Intel HD 4000 graphics driver called 'display power saving technology'.

The Intel Graphics Control Panel application has been discontinued from the Microsoft Store as of March 16, 2021. However, you can still access it on your Mac Mini by following these steps.

Method 1: Windows Start Menu

From the Windows Start Menu, search for the Intel Graphics Control Panel. Double-click the icon to launch the application.

Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to disable this feature on a Mac Mini. I have tried searching for solutions online and even posted my question on the Intel forums, but was recommended to use the Apple support channel instead.

If you're experiencing similar issues with display power saving technology, it may be worth trying out different settings or drivers to see if that resolves the problem. Alternatively, you could consider reaching out to Apple support for further assistance.

In conclusion, disabling display power saving technology in Intel Graphics Control Panel on a Mac Mini is not currently possible due to the application's discontinuation from the Microsoft Store. However, there may be other workarounds or solutions available that can help resolve this issue.
