    For me a way to solve the problem was to go into the CCC, into Power/PowerPlay(tm) and uncheck the "Enable Vari-Bright(tm)".

    After clicking apply, there was no more error message when I plugged or unplugged my laptop.

    I had the same problem with atibtmon.exe error.

    Occurred when disconnecting AC-Power or wake up from sleep.

    OS: Windows 10 Pro

    Display adapter: "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series"

    Driver: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

    Driverversion: 8.970.100.9001

    Driverdate: 1/13/2015

    No CCC (Catalyst Control Center) installed!!!

    Fixed after changing "ATI Powerplay settings" > "On battery" from "Maximize Battery Life" to "Maximize Performance".

    Found in:

    > "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options" (or "Windows-key + x" > "Power Options")

    > "Change Plan Settings"

    > "Change advanced power settings"

    >  scrolled down to "ATI Powerplay settings"

    > "On battery"

    > "Maximize Performance"

    Did it for every power plan!

    No more errors!

    Display is still be dimmed after disconnecting AC-Power!

    The problem starts when I update the Mobility Radeon HD 4250 driver, I believe the atibtmon.exe is a ATI Brightness Monitor, is not related to Adobe.

    The message is shown everytime I start the notebook, and when I wake it up from suspensión.

    Please tell me if there is any solution
