How To Change The Screen Brightness In Windows 11

If You Have Windows 11 Installed On Your Laptop, Tablet, Or All-In-One Computer, You Can Easily Change The Brightness Of Your Internal Screen With A Few Taps Or Clicks. And How To Do It.

How to change the screen brightness using the quick settings

First, click the Quick Settings button in your taskbar; this button is hidden and is located where you see the WiFi icons, your speakerphone, and battery in the right corner.

When the Quick Settings menu appears, find the slider or the light slider with the sun symbol next to it. Click or tap it and drag the brightness slider to increase or decrease the brightness of your screen. Depending on how much you move the slider, the sun icon will be bigger or smaller. When you place the slider the way you want it, you can close it by clicking anywhere outside the menu or re-selecting the Quick Settings button in the taskbar.

You can adjust the brightness of your internal screen using Windows settings. First, activate the settings by pressing Windows + I on your keyboard. Once opened, click “System” in the sidebar, then select “Display.”

Go to the “Brightness & Color” section in System Display settings. In the “Brightness” section, use the slider to increase or decrease the brightness of your internal screen.
