Navigating Screen Brightness Adjustments in Windows 10: A Swift Handbook
Levels: Casual
Are you sick of staring at a screen that's too bright or too dim? Simply adjust the screen brightness on your Windows 10 PC! Here's how:
1. Action Center Way:** - Click the message icon to the right of the clock in the taskbar to open the action center. - Drag the brightness slider (it's near the bottom and has a sun icon) to the left for less brightness, or to the right for more brightness. - Reminder: this method only works on Windows 10 versions 1903 and later.
2. Settings Way: - Click the Start menu (the icon with the Windows logo). - Click on the gear icon (it's on the far left side of the Start menu). - Click on System. - Click on Display. - Drag the slider bar (it says "Change brightness") to the left for less brightness, or to the right for more brightness. - Tip: Using a lower screen brightness will conserve power/battery life. - Optionally, check the box labeled "Change brightness automatically when lighting changes"** to let a smart Windows automatically adjust the brightness based on the environment.
Troubleshooting:- If the slider is missing or not working: Update your display driver. To do this, search "Device Manager" in the taskbar search box, click Device Manager in the list of results, select Display adapters, select your display adapter driver, right-click it, and click Update driver and follow the prompts.
Note: This method will not work on standalone monitors. You will need to use their buttons to adjust the brightness.
For advanced brightness control, consider third-party software like CareUEyes or Monitorian, which offer more options like automatic adjustments based on time of day and hotkey support.
