How to lower screen brightness on a Windows 10 Desktop

How do I adjust screen brightness in my Windows 10 PC? I have tried to just go into the power settings but there is no slider there as it is supposed to be, and not in the notification icon as it is supposed to be. I cannot remember where else I have checked (I remember some gamma thing that was not there) but I enabled some option called Enable adaptive brightness.

How can i change my screen brightness?


Solution 1:

If you are on a laptop, you can:

  • In your taskbar in the bottom right, click Show Hidden Icons, then click the Battery Icon, then click the Brightness Percent Button
  • Hold down your Function Key, then press F8 and F9 to decrease and increase your brightness respectively
  • If neither of the above options work for you, you may need to reinstall your display drivers and check if that solves the problem

If you are on a desktop, you need to:

  • Use the physical buttons on your monitor to change brightness levels
