Adjust the brightness on Windows 11 by going to Settings, then Display, and modifying the brightness level.
It's strange how I noticed it once in Display Settings and no longer see it now. A video mentions a slider in the network icon, but I actually use Nvidia Control Panel—its options differ. I need to keep that choice separate from others.
Windows 11's internal brightness control isn't very effective; it's mainly suitable for laptops. For better customization, consider using the 'ClickMonitorDDC' app, which offers flexible settings like color balance, brightness, and keyboard shortcuts. This light app lets you adjust directly on your monitor, eliminating the need to fumble with buttons that are often hard to reach when changing screen brightness. The full guide is available in the attached YouTube link—give it a try!
@ImWilly @Edward78 ClickMonitorDDC is quite an older version. I prefer Twinkle Tray, as it manages monitor brightness using DDC/CI and offers additional useful functions like hotkeys for adjusting brightness. The interface is well-designed, resembling a native Windows 11 menu, whether you use keyboard shortcuts or click the tray icon. The UI preview from my phone isn’t available since I can’t take screenshots.
