More about screen brightness in Windows 10

Windows 10 increases and decreases the screen brightness automatically depending on the local environment and lighting. This setting can also be adjusted manually whether the computer is plugged into a power outlet or running on battery power. Adjusting the brightness of your laptop’s screen is key to keeping the battery life as long-lasting as possible, if the screen stays too bright then it will consume the battery at a much faster rate. When the brightness doesn’t want to change or work correctly, the user can always try Windows Update to solve any Windows related issues that may be causing the problem.

Some user reports also claim the screen brightness changes automatically and when it’s not supposed to, the problem is quite common and usually occurs after a user makes an upgrade to the Windows 10 operating system. Fortunately, it’s not as difficult as reinstalling the operating system, or making complex changes to the system files – the problem is usually caused by an underlying issue of either incorrect, incompatible, or outdated device driver software.
