Brightness Control — Microsoft Store Version
This page covers the brightness control application distributed through the Microsoft Store. It is a Windows utility for adjusting screen brightness, installed and updated by the Store like any other Store app.
It is a separate product from Twinkle Tray. The download button starts the download directly from this site.
Windows brightness control software
Brightness app
Brightness Control
A Windows brightness control application with a simple slider interface for every connected display.
- Brightness control for Windows displays
- Simple, slider-based interface
- Fast, direct download straight from this site
- Suits managed or policy-restricted PCs
- One-click install, clean uninstall
Independent application
Twinkle Tray
A separate application with per-monitor brightness sliders in the system tray.
- Brightness slider for each detected display
- External monitor control over DDC/CI where supported
- Multiple-monitor support in one panel
- Convenient system tray workflow
- Free and open source
These are two separate applications. Both download directly from this site.
Why Store distribution matters
- Installs with a single click and updates automatically through the Store.
- Works on PCs where classic installers are restricted by policy.
- Uninstalls cleanly from Settings > Apps.
- Packaged and delivered by Microsoft's platform rather than a downloaded executable.
Who it suits
Users who want a simple brightness interface without managing installers, and anyone on a work or school PC where the Store is the sanctioned way to add software. If you want a per-monitor tray panel with keyboard shortcuts, compare it against Twinkle Tray first.
Installing it
- Open the official Store listing using the download button on this page.
- Sign in to the Store if prompted and select Get or Install.
- Launch the app from the Start menu once installation finishes.
- Adjust the brightness of the displays it detects.
What to expect from your hardware
As with any Windows brightness utility, external monitors respond only if they accept remote brightness commands over DDC/CI and the connection passes that channel through. Laptop panels are handled by Windows itself. See external monitor brightness for the details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the official Twinkle Tray app?
No. It is a different brightness control application distributed on the Microsoft Store. Twinkle Tray has its own website and installer.
Does the Microsoft Store version cost anything?
Pricing is shown on the Store listing itself, which is the only accurate source. Check it before installing.
Can I use both applications at once?
It is not recommended. Two utilities controlling the same monitor can conflict and produce jumping brightness values. Pick one.
Where do I get support for it?
Support and publisher details are listed on the Microsoft Store page. This website does not develop or support either application.
