New Windows Drivers Make me Dizzy/Headaches

I noticed that the new driver is a lot more bright and seems to be passing through my GPU or maybe the OS settings? Is it just passing through brightness or allowing other signaling to come through?

Like others who post on the LedStrain.org website, I am desperately trying to figure out what specifically is triggering these symptoms.

Can anyone please share what the difference is between the new drivers and the older one that seems to block whatever harmful signaling is coming through? Ex. Is it dithering, PWM, frequency, etc. or something else being passed through. My hope is to disable whatever is causing this issue.

Thank you,
