Getting to Know Windows’ Automatic Brightness

Before we begin, keep in mind that automatic (or adaptive) brightness is only available on Windows devices with built-in screens, such as laptops, tablets, and all-in-one desktop PCs. If you use an external display, you’re unlikely to find adaptive brightness options under Settings.

Some Windows devices adjust screen brightness automatically based on ambient lighting conditions, while others do not. If that’s the case, your device’s adjustments are dependent on data from a light sensor.

Additionally, some PCs allow for automated brightness changes based on what you’re looking at on your screen, which helps save battery life.
