    Windows 11, Brightness drops when going to full screen.

    Windows 11, Brightness drops when going to full screen, It appears to happen on most apps but most notable when playing videos off the browsers. The screen brightness drops by maybe 20% when switched to Fullscreen.

    All my adaptive brightness setting are turned off, all my drivers are up to date. God i hate Windows 11.

    Windows 11 No brightness drop down

    Hi!

    I have a Windows 11 desktop and I’ve been trying to figure out how to get the screen more brighter. I’ve seen multiple tutorials but I don’t have a drop down arrow for my brightness option. I haven’t seen any tutorial on how to get my drop down arrow back or if it’s even available on my Dell desktop.
