Brightness and Popup issue

Describe the issue

I really like this app, but having two minor issues:

1. Every time my laptop goes to sleep and then wakes up, my monitors are at full brightness (instead of last saved brightness)
   a) I tried the following settings: "Apply last saved values to the display" and "Assume last saved settings are valid". Both don't resolve this issue.
2. Occasionally, when trying to adjust brightness (specifically after wake up), I get a pop-up telling me to close other apps that manage brightness (like f.lux). However, I don't have any other apps that adjust brightness.

Expected behavior

1. When laptop wakes up, monitors should be at last saved brightness
2. Should not get the pop-up

Anything else?

No response

I have a very similar problem, but when my computer wakes up it goes to a minimum brightness (not full) and takes 30-40 seconds to recover to the last saved brightness
