This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off change keyboard brightness automatically when lighting changes for all users in Windows 11.
In devices such as laptops that contain both a keyboard backlight and an Ambient light sensor, Windows supports automatic adjustment of keyboard backlight brightness. This feature is also supported for external keyboards when they are attached to devices with ambient light sensors.
Keyboard Backlight Autobrightness is distinct from Adaptive brightness for displays, but conceptually similar in its implementation.
If an input button is pressed while Keyboard Backlight Autobrightness is enabled, a temporary manual override of the autobrightness algorithm will be initiated. Once activated, the...
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable install printers using Windows Ready Print by default in Windows 11.
In May 2026, Microsoft introduced a change where new printer installations use Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) by default when supported to simplify setup and improve reliability (see third-party driver deprecation timeline: End of Servicing Plan for Third-Party Printer Drivers on Windows).
Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.8737 (24H2) and build 26200.8737 (25H2), Microsoft is adding a new toggle in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Default install printers using Windows Ready Print to give you control over this behavior.

This tutorial will show you how to check the current status of TRIM support for SSD drives, and to enable or disable TRIM support on SSD drives with NTFS and ReFS file systems for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
When you delete a file on a SSD or NVMe drive, Windows sends a TRIM command to the drive to notify the drive of pages which no longer contain valid data. The SSD will then erase those pages in the background.
The TRIM command is essential to maintain the performance of SSD and NVMe drives at an optimal level over the lifetime of the drive. TRIM functions by actively deleting invalid data from the SSD’s memory cells to ensure that write operations perform at full speed. Since a memory block must be erased before it can...
