What causes the screen to dim while playing games in Windows?
There are several factors that can cause your monitor’s brightness to lower down during gameplay in Windows 10 like default-enabled auto-dimming settings, your power saver settings – or it could be a damaged GPU. Certain monitors have a pre-enabled auto-dimming feature in them, which adjusts the brightness of the monitors based on the surrounding lights and the environment in which the desktop is situated.
On similar lines to this monitor feature, are Windows 10’s brightness adjustment settings. Much like the brightness adjustments in a monitor, these too seek to adjust your screen’s brightness so as to allow you a convenient and strain-free viewing experience. Think of these features like the ones we get to see in almost all smartphones these days.
Another reason behind these screen dimming issues can be the power-saving settings that you have enabled on your PC. Most power-saving involves automatic deduction in a monitor’s brightness levels so as to make the battery backup last for long. This too, thankfully, can be easily reverted back. Other relevant factors are your graphic card’s configurations and probable outdated Windows 10 drivers. All these issues have been looked into and solved in the workarounds we will be discussing below.
