Posted on September 14, 2023

Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to either increase or decrease the brightness level of your computer screen?

If so, there are a several ways to make that adjustment, but it only takes a couple of quick clicks if you have a laptop or all-in-one desktop PC with Windows 11.

1 – Open the “Quick Settings” menu by clicking on the Network icon located on the right end of the Taskbar.

Method 2: Use the Settings app

You can also change the brightness of a Windows 11 PC’s built-in screen using the Settings app. Here’s how:

1 – Right-click on the Start button, then click Settings.

2 – In the left-hand pane, click System.

3 – In the right-hand pane, click Display.

4 – In the “Brightness and color” section, click the Brightness slider (the slider with the “Sun” icon beside it) and slide it either left or right until the screen has the desired brightness level.
