Windows 11 could soon fix one of your biggest annoyances with using external monitors

Windows 11 will receive an update introducing a new feature called Power Monitor within PowerToys, currently in development. This feature will allow users to adjust external monitor settings such as brightness, contrast, color temperature, and potentially speaker volume directly through the Windows interface, eliminating the need for physical buttons or manufacturer software. The update aims to simplify multi-display management and enhance productivity for professionals and gamers. Windows Insiders are expected to be the first to test the feature, though no confirmed release date is available. There is potential for the feature to include advanced calibration tools or custom monitor profiles in the future.
