It is necessary to change brightness on your PC. If you want to see better in bright light, less the burden on your eye during the night, you can adjust the screen brightness according to the environment. This task is one of the things that you do relatively regularly no matter you’re using a Windows desktop, laptop, or notebook. For a laptop, you can save energy and extend the life by turning down the brightness.
If you are running a Windows 11 PC, how can you change the brightness of your computer screen? Follow multiple methods below now.
Adjusting the brightness of your device is an easy task you may perform every day. You can increase the brightness by day to make it easy to see the contents on the screen. Likewise, you can lower the brightness to adapt the light at night to let eyes rest.
However, some users reported that they couldn’t adjust the screen brightness. The brightness always keeps maximum, regardless of the power plan.
This issue may not impact your desktop since you can change the brightness via adjusting the monitor. But for some laptops, it is frustrating if Windows 10 can’t change brightness. Since the laptop is constantly running with the maximum brightness, the battery life may be affected.
Fortunately, you can easily fix this issue and we will introduce some methods to you in the following part. Let’s go to see how to troubleshoot it.
Currently, Microsoft hasn’t released the official Windows 11 to the public (the release date of Windows 11 should be in October 2021). However, the Windows Insider preview build is available in the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program. If you are a Windows Insider, you can go to Settings > Windows Update to check for updates. But if you are not a Windows Insider, you can join the Windows Insider Program and then upgrade your computer to Windows 11 (Insider preview build).
When you open Windows 11 for the first time, you can see that the default color mode is light (the Light Mode is enabled by default in Windows 11 Insider preview build). Some users think that this mode is not eye-friendly. The Light Mode is too bright.
Now let’s take a look at what Microsoft said during last week’s Microsoft Inspire.
Melissa Grant said like this:
Since we’re spending so much more time staring at bright screens, not just for endless email, but also countless meetings plus keeping up with our personal lives, to give your eyes a rest, we’re going to ship all of the Windows 11 commercial SKUs in that IT favorite, beautiful dark mode, by default.
In sum, the Dark Mode can ease eye strain. Microsoft will enable Dark Mode by default in Windows 11. If you want to use Light Mode, you can manually switch to it. In the next part, we will show you how to switch between Dark Mode and Light Mode in Windows 11.
