Enable Adaptive Brightness is already Off.
Turn off display after... is set to Never.
Our computers are not laptops.
Both my wife and I have Apple CinemaDisplays and they both have recently begun to dim and brighten on their own. This doesn't occur until after logging into Windows 10. At some point—after logging in—the monitors begin to dim and brighten on their own.
When the physical brightness controls buttons (for the monitors) are used, there is something happening that fights the use of these buttons (i.e. as the brightness is increased, the levels keep going back down as the brightness is turned up. Eventually the monitor returns to it's darkest state on its own, then it will sometimesbegin to brighten again).
This issue does not occur when hooked up to our Macs, or when we were on Win7. It began with a recent Win10 update.
I have attempted to give the Nvidia Control Panel full control of the monitor, and though it can adjust the settings, it doesn't lock out whatever is causing this randomness.

2017-12-26T19:19:07+00:00 Thank you for the screenshot. Since Display is not available in your Task Scheduler, please verify what power plan you've set on your computer. To check, follow these steps:
- Open Control Panel > Power Options.
- Under Preferred plans, set it to High performance.
- Click Change plan settings, then Change advanced power settings.
- Look for Display, expand it and make sure to turn OFF Enable adaptive brightness.
- Click Apply, then OK.
Let us know how it goes.
Regard.

2017-12-29T17:17:14+00:00 Can you verify if your monitor has a light sensor? It's usually located at the bottom frame of the monitor. If you have it, please adjust the brightness accordingly as the light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen depending on the light level of the surroundings.
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards.
