cjc2112  This issue is not resolved. Version  101.0.1210.39 & several versions earlier exhibit the exact same behavior: 

 

1. Leave Win 11 pluged in

2. Play any video in Edge not full screen & the display does not dim

3. Make the video full screen & watch your display brightness: It will dim.

 

1. Unplug Win 11

2. Play any video in Edge not full screen & the display does not dim

3. Make the video full screen & it does not dim

 

Through my eyes, no web browser should have that level of OS control to adjust my disply settings. I don't know if this is "just a forum" or if it actually reaches the correct folks @MS.
