Setting the Windows display to "night" helps a lot to save battery juice but the surrounding light must already be dim. Setting to “night” is not the same as turning the brightness down. This is "in addition too”. The brightness can still be adjusted after setting to Night mode. Right-click an...

If you are using a laptop with Windows, you might google "windows mobility center". There are three Windows laptop settings: Balanced, Power Saver and High Performance.
