How to Change the Screen Brightness in Windows According to the Time

screen-brightness-windowsAs time has passed, Microsoft has been sending new and more advanced features for Windows 10. In this way the operating system of Redmond’s is becoming more powerful, functional and secure. As you know first hand, there are many adjustments and customizations that we can use in the times, including the level of brightness of the screen .

We could say that this is a basic control that we can change depending on the needs of each one at any time. This is something that we usually find both on desktops and laptops and that we must take into account to take care of the eyes.

Regulating screen brightness is beneficial for visual health

At the same time lately there is much talk about adjusting the brightness of the screen depending on the ambient light, something beneficial and useful. Of course, for this we must have a hardware that supports it. But if we want to go one step further in this regard and want to change the brightness of the screen depending on the time of day, there are not many options available. We can find some alternatives of this type not too reliable, so we will talk about one that will be very helpful.

That is why in these lines we will talk about the app called ClickMonitorDDC , a free program that you can download from here . To begin, we will tell you that this is an application that deals with the brightness of the screen, not the temperature , something that many confuse.

Once on the official website of the developer, we found a portable and an installable version of ClickMonitorDDC. Be that as it may, once we launch it, the software runs in the system tray. By clicking on the corresponding icon, a window opens in which we can adjust the brightness of the screen manually. Of course, for what concerns us in this case, click on the small button in the upper left corner.

Set up to eight independent schedules to adjust brightness

In the new configuration window that opens, on the right side we find several sections, but the one that interests us in this case is Timer, Transfer, Limits. Then we will see a section called Auto run command lines, which is where the eight different time controllers that we are going to be able to use are located. These are the ones that will help us to change the brightness of the screen at the moment we need.

In this way, the first thing we do is set the time of one of the controllers in which the new brightness settings will “jump”. Then enter the letter “b” followed by the brightness level you want to set at that time. Also, to adjust the contrast of the screen, we add a space and then enter the letter “c” followed by the contrast value to be established. Finally, if we also want to establish the luminance , we introduce a “l” and its level, which adjusts the luminance level of the blue.

In this way we will have the possibility of establishing up to a total of 8 different schedules , each with its corresponding adjustments, as we have indicated. Once we enter them all, we click on apply and accept to save the changes and adjustments made.

So, as we can see, thanks to this simple free application we will have the opportunity to easily control the brightness of the screen. In addition, as it is easy to assume, we do not need to use the 8 limiters, we can set one for the day and one for the night, for example.
