How to Add or Remove Brightness Slider on Action Center in Windows 10


If you have a Windows 10 device (ex: laptop or tablet) with a built-in display, you can change its screen brightness percentage level.

A brighter display uses more power, which reduces battery life.

If you have a Windows 10 device (ex: laptop or tablet) with a built-in display, you will have a brightness slider quick action at the bottom of the Action Center by default.

If you do not have a Windows 10 device (ex: laptop or tablet) with a built-in display, the brightness slider quick action will be unavailable to add to Action Center.
