That’s why Microsoft included an option to turn this off. To effectively disable this feature, follow through this path: “Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Services”....

It makes intuitive sense: brighter lights seem to be a little rougher on the eyes, and white is a higher-energy color, so it probably uses more battery, right? As usual, though, reality is a little more complicated. While it’s true that darker colors use less energy to generate, not every type of screen is set up to take advantage of this.
