brightness settings for your power plan, click the icon on the tile to open Power Options

in Control Panel.

■

check box.

■

power plan from the list.

■

select a network to connect to or turn your wireless adapter on or off.

■

If you need to access Control Panel to make additional adjustments, you can click the icon on

a tile to open Control Panel for that setting. If a tile does not appear, it might be because the

required hardware or drivers are missing.
