Although Windows 11/10 enables Battery Saver automatically when it reaches 20%, there is no option to change the percentage of the brightness of your screen. That is why you can follow this tutorial to change the percentage of brightness when using Battery Safer in Windows 11 or Windows 10.
Battery Saver is an important feature on your Windows laptop, which allows you to save battery by reducing the background process and screen brightness.
