How to Change the Brightness of Screen in Windows 11
Step 1: Open the Windows Settings app.
Step 2: When it opens, go to the sidebar and click "System," then "Display."
Step 3: Scroll down to the section titled "Brightness & Color."
Step 4: Use the slider under "Brightness" to adjust the brightness of your built-in display.
Step 5: Close the Settings app when you are done.
- If your device is running on battery, you may see a "Battery saver" option that can impact brightness settings. For quick access, you can also adjust the brightness using the shortcut keys on your keyboard if your laptop has them (often represented as a sun icon).
- Why this option is grayed out on Windows 11 Home new install?
- Is there any dedicated tutorial for Toshiba laptop?
If your PC is connected to a monitor, you are not able to adjust brightness on windows. You have to adjust brightness on monitor by using the buttons on the monitor directly(remember to turn off eye protection mode).
If you are using laptop, try using key pad to adjust brightness.
- What is the best value for a laptop in regard to brightness settings?
- I Have 4 Methods To change the brightness of your screen in Windows 11, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the Quick Settings Menu
Click on the Windows icon in the taskbar or press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the Start menu.
In the lower-left corner of the Start menu, you'll see a series of quick settings icons. Look for the "Brightness" icon, which resembles a sun.
Click on the "Brightness" icon to open the brightness slider.
Drag the slider left or right to decrease or increase the brightness of your screen.
Method 2: Using the Action Center
Click on the notification icon in the system tray (it looks like a speech bubble) or press Windows key + A on your keyboard to open the Action Center.
In the Action Center, you'll see a "Quick Settings" section at the top. Find the "Brightness" slider.
Adjust the slider to change the screen brightness to your desired level.
Method 3: Using Keyboard Shortcuts (if available)
Some laptops have dedicated function keys for adjusting screen brightness. Look for icons on your keyboard that resemble a sun or a light bulb, often with up and down arrows. You can usually adjust brightness using these keys by pressing them along with the "Fn" key.
Method 4: Using Display Settings
Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings" from the context menu.
In the Display settings window, scroll down to the "Brightness and color" section.
You'll find a brightness slider here. Adjust it to change the screen brightness.
Please note that the availability of these methods may vary depending on your hardware and system settings. If you're unable to adjust the brightness using these methods, you may need to update your display drivers or consult your PC's manufacturer for specific guidance.It appears you're referring to a Notebook/Laptop?
On a Windows 11 PC, Action Centre no longer exists and none of the settings you mention (apparently) do either.
To adjust screen brightness on any desktop using a SmartTV simply adjust using the remote.
For using a computer monitor I have absolutely no idea.
- Correct, I'm on an HP Laptop.The Action Centre does not have any of the options oceanofgadgets9028 mentioned. When I'm connected up to a monitor the image on the monitor is fine, but the whole point of a laptop is that it shouldn't need to be connected to a monitor.
Do you know that, Pernille-Eskebo?
ammarjaved I have the same problem, no brigthness setting on my laptop Dell Latitude 7550 Windows 11 Pro ....
ammarjaved ican't find my brightness setting
ammarjaved I have the same problem and it is years after this thread was started. My Windows and devie drivers are up to date, the brightness in the Mobility Center is at 100%, and still my screen is very dim. I am disgusted that no-one has fixed this yet.
For anyone searching for brightness control, I found it in the Mobility Center
