One of the many features that Windows 11 has retained from the previous editions, is the ability to adjust the brightness of the display you are using. Be it a stand-alone display, a PC, a laptop, or even a Windows-powered tablet device, the ability to adjust the brightness makes it easy for you to view content, interact with different elements on the screen, and in case you are working outside, you can even see things better if you are in control of the brightness of your computer screen.
Most devices today have an auto-brightness setting that basically evaluates the brightness of the surroundings and adjusts the brightness of the device accordingly. However, you can even do the settings manually if you want to fine-tune your experience.
