If you\u2019ve had your screen brightness low for remote PC access, or directly after it, you\u2019re definitely going to want some solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s what we\u2019ll be providing you with in this article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-causes-screen-dimming\">What Causes Screen Dimming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not just Remote Desktop responsible for screen dimming. In fact, most screen brightness problems are related to the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Problems with Adaptive Brightness settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power Plan Management (on notebooks and laptops)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Graphical driver issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, this gives a clear roadmap for fixing the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-your-screen-brightness-low-for-remote-pc-here-are-the-fixes\">Is Your Screen Brightness Low for Remote PC? Here are the Fixes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below we\u2019ve assembled four solutions to address the above issues and get your screen back to regular brightness before, during, or after a Remote Desktop access session:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-disable-adaptive-brightness\">Disable Adaptive Brightness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s start with the most likely offender. Adaptive Brightness is a handy feature that adjusts your screen based on your surrounding environment, much like many smartphones do. Remote Desktop access may play havoc with this feature, as two devices are involved. To fix the remote PC access lowers brightness issue, start by disabling Adaptive Brightness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1.<\/strong> Open the Control Panel via the search bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2.<\/strong> Navigate down to \u201cPower Options\u201d and click it.
