Screen brightness settings in Windows 10

Windows 10 offers several methods to adjust screen brightness. Here are detailed explanations of these methods:

1. Using the Action Center

1. Open the Action Center: Click on the notification icon in the bottom right corner of your screen or press Win + A on your keyboard.
2. Use the Brightness Slider: In the Action Center, you will find a brightness slider. Move the slider to the right to increase brightness or to the left to decrease it.

2. Using the Settings Menu

1. Open Settings: Click on the Start menu and select Settings (the gear icon).
2. Go to System Settings: In the Settings window, click on System.
3. Select Display: From the left-hand menu, click on Display.
4. Adjust Brightness Level: At the top of the Display settings, you will see a slider under Brightness and color. Move the slider left or right to adjust the brightness to your preference.

3. Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Many laptops have dedicated keys for adjusting brightness. These keys are often combined with the Fn key and marked with a sun icon. For example:

• Decrease Brightness: Fn + F5 or F6
• Increase Brightness: Fn + F7 or F8

4. Using Graphics Card Software

If you have a dedicated graphics card software (such as Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD), you can adjust the brightness through that software. These programs are usually found in the system tray in the bottom right corner of the screen. Open the software and look for display or brightness settings to make adjustments.

5. Adjusting via Power Options

You can also adjust screen brightness through the power options:

1. Open Control Panel: Click on the Start menu and type Control Panel, then open it.
2. Go to Power Options: Under Hardware and Sound, click on Power Options.
3. Change Plan Settings: Click on Change plan settings next to your selected power plan.
4. Adjust Brightness Settings: In the plan settings, you can adjust the brightness for both on battery and plugged-in modes using the sliders.

6. Using Adaptive Brightness and Ambient Light Sensors

Some Windows 10 devices have sensors that automatically adjust the screen brightness based on the ambient light:

1. Open Settings: Click on the Start menu and select Settings (the gear icon).
2. Go to System Settings: Click on System.
3. Select Display: From the left-hand menu, click on Display.
4. Turn On Adaptive Brightness: If your device supports this feature, you will see an option to Change brightness automatically when lighting changes. Toggle this option on to enable automatic brightness adjustment.

By following any of these methods, you can easily adjust the screen brightness on your Windows 10 device.
