Windows 10: Restore default screen brightness settings

I accidentally changed the brightness of my Dell Laptop by clicking on one of the keyboard shortcuts F6 & F7. As a result, my PC stopped automatically changing the brightness depending on whether it's charging or not. So, I'd like to know if there's any way of bringing that option back.In case it helps, my graphics driver is IntelR IrisR Xe Graphics.Thanks in advance

screen brightness on windows 10

Hi,

Some computers can let Windows automatically adjust screen brightness based on the current lighting conditions.

To manually adjust the screen brightness, we suggest following these troubleshooting steps:

• Click Start, then select Settings.
• Choose System, then select Display.
• Under Brightness and color, move the Change brightness slider to adjust the brightness.

Feel free to post back if you have other concern.

 

How to disable adaptive brightness by default

I followed the steps listed in the linked thread, and still no change. I don't believe that the linked thread is dealing with the same issues that I am dealing with.

Furthermore, I do not understand why I would ever need to change registry settings, or restore default power settings. To be clear, this isn't a bug that is causing my brightness to be lower than it should, this is obviously an intended feature of
Windows to enable adaptive brightness so that the screen adapts in differently lit environments. Either I'm wrong, and this isn't an intended feature (in which case, why is it there at all), or I'm right and this is an intended feature, and my point
still stands: Why can't I disable adaptive brightness and leave it disabled permanently?

I'm quite disappointed that something as crucial as the brightness of one's screen is not implemented correctly. This should be fixed ASAP.

As for this thread and my concerns, I would still like to see if there is a solution that can be provided. Thank you.

 

Windows 10 Screen Brightness and Project Issues

Hi,

Thanks for the update and response.

What is the model number of the computer?

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with power. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Power.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
• Run the Power troubleshooter

Method 2:

Reset and restore the power plans to default.

1. Click “Windows Key + X”, and then click on command prompt.

2. In the command prompt, type powercfg –restoredefaultschemes and hit
Enter.

3. Exit command prompt.



Note: This would reset the power plan settings to default. Any previously customized power plans would be removed.
