Windows 10: On-Battery Screen Brightness Too Dark After Win8.1->Win10 Update

Hey guys,

after updating to Windows 10, I am not able to get the screen brightness to 100% anymore (it is shown to be 100%, but plugging my laptop in, screen brightness will increase to maximum brightness). Screen settings are as shown below.




Maybe anyone has an idea?

I also tried using the command line:





This allows me to change the brightness, however 100% is still not really 100% when on battery.

:)

Hi Schnurz,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Have you tried adjusting screen Brightness in System tray through battery icon?

Suggest you to check and update Display/Graphics drivers for Windows 10 from device Manufacturer's website. Most probability it will fix the issue.

Try installing drivers in compatibility mode if incase of no latest driver available.
Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.

Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

a. Right-click on the application setup file and click on
‘properties’.

c. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

Let us know if problem still persist, we're glad to assist you. Hope this will address your query.

 

Hello,
Are you talking about when the PC is on battery the screen brightness is not max?
If so then since you have it on 100% it should be the same but some times you will have to put down then back up the brightness when going on battery because it will auto adjust to low automatically to save battery power.
