PowerShell Tips : Changing Monitor brightness using PowerShell.

Aman Dhally

 

 Do, you ever tried to change the monitor brightness using PowerShell. If not, than go and try it. It’s too cool.

You can use the below “WmiMonitorBrightnessMethods” class to set the brightness of the monitor. You need to use “WmiSetBrightness” method of the class to set brightness.

Do this:

1.       Set your monitor brightness to the full.

2.       Run the below command and see the result

 

(Get-WmiObject -Namespace root/WMI -Class WmiMonitorBrightnessMethods).WmiSetBrightness(1,20)

 

clip_image002

 

Amazed, Your monitor brightness will be set to 20.  You can set the value of brightness from 0-100 .

Just change the value of 20 in above command from 0-100.

if you want you can convert it to function too J ..

Go and test it J .

In-case you got an error, “Not Supported” that means you display driver won’t support it.

 

Happy Weekend.

Thanks

One thought on “PowerShell Tips : Changing Monitor brightness using PowerShell.”

  1. Seriously Windows 10 now included the option to set the brightness to 0 or 0% which turns the screen black. I hate this option and want to completely annihilate it. How can I limit the minimum brightness to, say, 1%?!? I am already using f.lux so I am already covered regarding color temperature in the evening hours…
    Please help. I really want to restore Windows 10 to some set of setting that DO keep me sane.
