How can I change the brightness to the default value?
In the process of using Volume2, I accidentally touched the hotkey to adjust the brightness. However, I do not know the default brightness setting, and I can only set the brightness to 100% using the reset hotkey to the brightness, which will lead to the loss of screen color details, which is obviously incorrect. This problem has not been solved with the software reinstallation or uninstallation. Because I use a desktop PC, the system does not provide the option to change the brightness. I want to know how Volume2 changes the brightness of the system? How can I change the brightness back to the default value? I have confirmed that the brightness setting here has nothing to do with my external monitor. Thank you so much!
What does default brightness mean? Do you use a laptop?
I use a desktop computer. I can't find any option to set the brightness in the system settings, but I can still use the hotkey of volume2 to adjust the brightness, which makes me get a bad display effect after I touch the brightness by mistake and adjust it to the maximum(100). Now I want to restore the brightness setting of the computer to the state before the adjustment.
I think this may also be a bug. I suggest disabling the hotkey for brightness adjustment when a desktop computer is detected.
If it is laptop will be used API for changing brightness but for desktop it is changed programmatically by changing the gamma. https://github.com/irzyxa/Volume2/wiki/FAQ#2-how-does-volume-adjust-the-brightness
I'd also like to know what was the default value. I have a PC and when checking volume changing steps I've changed brightness by an accident. I'm trying and trying and I have no idea what value does Volume2 change. I've checked 'ScreenBright' - no values changed for brightness or contrast. I've checked my LG OnScreen Control (which I use to change brightness (by changing contrast value)) and no value is changed there. I opened Nvidia Control panel and no value is changed there. And changing gamma there behaves completely different than changing brightness in Volume2 as you mentioned in comment above.
/////// after a while of checking every possible place: I think you're changing something in ICC profiles, as of changing my ICC profile sets the brightness back to correct one. Thank god...
@c90c90 the correct value seems to be between 90 and 100; most likely between 90 and 95 for my screen. The differences are very little when changing between those and the level of my ICC. Try changing your ICC to any, and go back to default. You can google for your monitor model + ICC profile
