If you spend considerable time on your Windows 10 computer or device, mastering how to adjust screen brightness is essential. This adjustment is particularly important for laptops and tablets in various lighting conditions. Luckily, Windows 10 offers a variety of options to change this setting. Follow this updated tutorial to learn how to increase or decrease your display's brightness:
NOTE: The features presented are available in Windows 10 November 2019 Update or newer. If you're using an older version of Windows 10, you might not have access to all the features. Check your Windows 10 build and, if necessary, get the latest Windows 10 update available for you.
Most Windows 10 laptops feature dedicated keys for adjusting screen brightness:
| Device | Brightness Increase Shortcut | Brightness Decrease Shortcut |
|---|---|---|
| HP Spectre 13t | F3 | F2 |
| Surface Pro | Fn + DEL | Fn + Backspace |
| Lenovo Legion Y520 | Fn + F12 | Fn + F11 |
Look for sunlight icons on your keyboard.
Some monitors come with dedicated buttons to control brightness settings, while others require you to navigate through menus. Consult your monitor's manual for precise steps.
You can also adjust brightness through the Action Center. Press Windows + A to open it and find the brightness slider at the bottom.
Open Settings using Windows + I, and navigate to System. Under the Display section, adjust the brightness slider as required.
To modify brightness through Windows Mobility Center, search for mobility in the taskbar, then adjust the brightness using the appropriate slider.
Using PowerShell is another effective method. Launch it with powershell in the search field, then type the command:
(Get-WmiObject -Namespace root/WMI -Class WmiMonitorBrightnessMethods).WmiSetBrightness(1,brightnesslevel)
Replace brightnesslevel with a value between 0 and 100.
Lowering the screen brightness can save energy. Access Battery settings by clicking the power icon in your system tray and adjusting the settings to enable this feature.
Being able to adjust brightness effectively enhances comfort and productivity. A screen that's too bright or dim can cause eye strain. What method do you prefer for changing your display's brightness? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
Installing more RAM is the most effective solution to speed up your computer. Even if your computer is new, after only a few years of use, you will have to install more RAM to ensure better speed. In addition, new operating systems also require more memory. When a computer does not have enough RAM, it will exchange data streams with the hard drive, and that is the reason why your system runs slowly.
