Just a quick note. My office has a massive window right behind my screen so I usually only use 2 brightness settings. Maxed out during the day and night mode/20% when the sun goes down. I just realized I can plug my 15 Pro Max into the Studio Display and set the brightness and/or night mode. Then I unplug it from the phone and plug it back into my Windows PC it keeps the same settings.
Got a tip for us?

Hi @natsukosen sorry about the late reply here. I just checked back and saw your post.
So I kept the TB4 KVM. There really are no other options out there that I could find. And the original KVM I used was the one you posted and I had the same experience as you. It’s possible it fried my cables too. Maybe it damaged my first WJESOG cable? I don’t think so though because others have complained about the overheating issue on Amazon.
I also experienced the glitching you mentioned with the other cables.
My PC is using the B650I AORUS ULTRA.
I think with the proart you can connect directly to the ASD VIA the thunderbolt port because if you use the dp in it will send the video signal through the TB cable.
The brightness can be controlled but it is a software issue with windows. There are some who used the drivers from boot Camp and I think there is a mention at the top of this thread about a driver somebody had created.

Many thanks for getting back! Good news, today I tried the WJESOG DP to USB-C Cable and it works like a charm (including Speakers and Webcam) with my RTX-3090 DP Slot! I am more than happy!
I still need to manually plug the USB-C Cables in an out from the ASD, but just feels so nice at the moment without having any issues connecting the PC to the ASD.
Is it the Sabrent TB4 KVM for $300 that you kept? And are using it with TB4 Cables to connect to the PC and Mac?
Also, do you think the Sabrent TB4 KVM can manage to switch between the WJESOG DP to USB-C Cable and the Standard Apple Studio Display TB4 Cable to connect to a MacBook Pro M1 Max?
Yes
Yes I did keep the Sabrent. It seems to work fine with both TB and USB-C cables.Many thanks for getting back! Good news, today I tried the WJESOG DP to USB-C Cable and it works like a charm (including Speakers and Webcam) with my RTX-3090 DP Slot! I am more than happy!

Hello everyone,
I wanted to share a solution that might help anyone experiencing issues with the ambient light sensor functionality in the Studio Display Brightness Controller when using an Apple Studio Display with a Dell XPS 9320 Plus laptop on Windows 11.
In my case, the sensors started working properly only after I removed a malfunctioning Intel USB Bridge Firmware Upgrade driver and reverted to the default USB DFU driver. The faulty driver was causing numerous system errors, including the internal camera not functioning. This led me to believe that the driver could also be responsible for the ambient light sensor issue, as everything worked fine with the default driver.
Unfortunately, the camera issue persists. For more details on the webcam not being detected on the XPS 13 Plus 9320, you can refer to these resources:
Hope this helps someone out there!

I tried the Studio Display with a Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Gen 2 (AMD model), which has USB-C 3.2 and displayPort 1.4 over USB-C, but no Thunderbolt. It works out of the box using Apple's cable.
Hello folks ! and Kreasu
I don't arrive to start SensorInfo minimized, how could you do that ?
I have tried with task scheduler :
Program/script : "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\26830TonyLin.SensorInfo_10.0.27.0_x64__xzh44wb246sn4\SensorInfo.exe"
Add Arguments : /min
NO RESULTS
I have tried with Regedit "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\26830TonyLin.SensorInfo_10.0.27.0_x64__xzh44wb246sn4\SensorInfo.exe" /starttray /min
NO RESULTS
Any clues ??

I have an HP EliteBook 845 G9 and could not get it to work with my ASD. No Thunderbolt support on my machine, only USB-C sadly.
I finally got 5K, camera and speakers to work with a tightly locked down EliteBook x360 1030 G4. Considering the 830 G9 has Thunderbolt 4, I would assume it should be possible to use an ASD with it.
Apologies for extending this post with a question that's probably already been asked. I'm getting a Lenovo legion desktop with an RTX4080 GPU that has DP output. I have two studio displays I need to run off of it. From what I'm gathering. The easiest solution it appears is one DP to TB cable for one display and use the Belkin cable to run the other display and use its camera/speakers. Is this correct or is there a better solution? what's the best alternative to the Belkin cable which will still run 5K and above?
Thank you all

Apologies if it is heresy to post a Windows question in these communities. And I know this question is more appropriately asked in a Windows forum. I have done that, but am casting my net wide. I have a Dell laptop running Windows 10 I have to use for work. I bought an Apple Studio Display to hook up to it at home because I am a Mac user at home. The display works, but only as a mirror of the laptop display. Windows does not identify or recognize the display to allow me to extend the displays or control the settings on the display. Any help? Thanks
I'm not sure but I think if you buy a KVM you'll be able to extend and not only mirroring.
I'll let owners confirm or not.
Settings you’ll have to use boot camp or a third party tool in terms of mirroring you’ll have to open your display settings and see some older laptops don’t support the protocol bandwidth for it over usb c or some igpus can’t output 5k
I'm using an Apple Studio Display with a Macbook, and a Windows PC using that DisplayPort -> USB-C adapter everyone else uses.
The Studio Display only works with the Windows PC if it is plugged in before the PC boots; plugging in after it's booted does nothing.
Furthermore, if I ever need to unplug the display and hook it up to the Mac, the screen will not turn on when plugged back into the Windows computer.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions? (I have all the latest bootcamp drivers installed on the Windows PC. Also I tried a KVM and it had all the same issues.)

Try installing the intel thunderbolt driver if your laptop has thunderbolt and confirm the connection in the windows app thunderbolt controller to see if it’s connected
It sounds like a driver issue
… just learned about the WJESOG, which adds a USB signal (the one I have only pipes DisplayPort), I'm gonna grab one and see how it goes…
Hey guys,
I'm interested in buying an Apple Studio Display, I have a personal MacBookPro and a Dell for work.
I went to try it out at an Apple Store to see if the monitors worked with my computers.
With the MBP, no problem.
It didn't work with the Dell. My Dell is a Vostro 7590, intel i7-9759, has an Intel UHD Graphics 630 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650. It has a 1xHDMI 2.0 port, 3xUSB-A 3.1 gen1 and a 1xThunderbolt 3 port (usb type c).
When I was trying out the Dell in the store with the original ASD cable, I opened the Thunderbolt Control Center in Windows, and the ASD appeared listed, but disappeared immediately afterwards, only to appear again, and disappear again, and so on.
I tried with a thunderbolt 4 cable and the same thing happened.
Do you think that an active Thunderbolt 4 cable (https://amzn.eu/d/1QKB0eO) could solve the problem?
Or will I have to go through the HDMI with a cable similar to this one (https://amzn.eu/d/aS88UxZ or https://amzn.eu/d/2rwgkyQ)?
Or will I have to go through an HDMI cable -> DisplayPort (https://amzn.eu/d/1m9hUxH or https://amzn.eu/d/3Pe7TBD) and then DisplayPort -> Thunderbolt USB-C (https:// amzn.eu/d/dOtqftb).
I don't mind having a resolution lower than 5k, if it works at 1440p on the Dell, I don't mind.
Do you think it could work?
Thank you so much guys

You probably need to install the Bootcamp drivers on your Dell, which isn't as straightforward as it used to be.
I suggest following the steps on this page, then going back to the Apple Store and giving it another try.
Using the Apple Studio Display on a Windows Computer
A guide on how to get the Apple Studio display working on a regular desktop or laptop computer running Microsoft Windows.
But unless you really really want that nanosurface coating (which is honestly quite sweet), I'd recommend the Samsung 5k display over the Studio Display at this point. It's "dumber" in the best sense of the word, the Studio Display is so over-engineered that it doesn't really "just work" on anything but a Mac.

With the Dell I was unable to send an image to the ASD, the ASD always had a black screen. when I opened the Thunderbolt Control Center in Windows, and the ASD appeared listed, but disappeared immediately afterwards, only to appear again, and disappear again, and so on.
Which cable can solve my problem?
My preference is over the standard glass model.
The Samsung Viewfinity S9 does not work with my Macbook Pro, as my MBP is a model with an Intel chip. Samsung Viewfinity S9 is only compatible with Apple silicon chip.
