In this tutorial we&#8217;ll show you how to prevent Windows 10 from changing screen brightness automatically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 1: Disable Adaptive Brightness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your computer monitor has an integrated light sensor, Windows can adjust the screen brightness depending on the amount of light around you.

When the battery falls below 20%, Windows will automatically lower the screen brightness, which helps reduce battery consumption. To disable this behavior, just open the Settings app and navigate to <strong>System<\/strong> -> <strong>Battery<\/strong>, click the checkbox next to &#8220;<strong>Lower screen brightness while in battery saver<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.top-password.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lower-screen-brightness-in-battery-saver.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"469\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.top-password.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lower-screen-brightness-in-battery-saver.png 600w, https:\/\/www.top-password.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lower-screen-brightness-in-battery-saver-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 3: Disable Power Saving for Graphics Card<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Intel graphics adapter, just download the Intel\u00ae Graphics Control Panel app from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top-password.com\/blog\/open-microsoft-store-in-windows-10\/\">Microsoft Store<\/a>, which lets you adjust most power management settings with ease. After starting the app, go to the &#8220;<strong>Power<\/strong>&#8221; section and look for a feature called &#8220;<strong>Display Power Saving Technology<\/strong>&#8221; and disable it.<\/p>\n<p>NVIDIA also has a similar app named NVIDIA Control Panel so you can disable power saving mode too.
