When my Lenovo Yoga 7 starts, suddenly, as soon as I can see the login screen, the monitor backlight gets dark. Even when I login it stays like this and I have to manually set illumination higher. Any idea where this comes from or how to stop it? Thanks in advance.

Ok the answer was quite similar to the one mchid provided in his link.
So again, thanks for this hint.
The solution is acpi_backlight=vendor which can be done like this for example:

cd /etc/default
sudo nano grub
...
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_backlight=vendor"
...
sudo update-grub
reboot

The value was taken from: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
