This article explains how to enable or disable the “Energy saver” feature that lowers the screen brightness when in energy-saving mode in Windows 11.
Energy Saver is a power management feature in Windows that allows you to save power by reducing the amount of power your computer uses when it’s not in use or used at reduced energy usage. This feature is designed to help you conserve energy and extend your laptop’s battery life.
You can turn Energy saver on or off laptops and desktops anytime. This feature can be toggled via Quick Settings in the system tray, even for PCs plugged in to conserve energy.
Users can also turn on the energy-saving feature automatically when the device’s battery reaches a certain level, so they don’t have to trigger it each time manually.
When “Energy saver” is enabled or turned on, it automatically lowers the screen brightness to save power. However, there may be times when you want to use your laptop or desktop at full brightness, even when the energy-saving feature is on. In such cases, you can disable the option to lower the screen brightness with an Energy saver.
Similarly, you may want to enable this option to save more power when your device’s battery is running low.
