I have been trying multiple apps, but I do not know how to adjust Windows' screen brightness automatically. Is there a way this can be done through Task Scheduler?

To give a specific scenario, I'd like Task Scheduler to set the screen's brightness to its lowest setting daily at 10:00 PM and turn to 80% brightness when I turn on my computer. Is this possible?

You can use PowerShell directly, or in a .bat file, as below,

powershell (Get-WmiObject -Namespace root/WMI -Class WmiMonitorBrightnessMethods).WmiSetBrightness(1,10)

Replace 10 with 80 for 80% brightness, or a smaller integer to make it dimmer yet.

Now just add Scheduled Tasks calling the respective scripts at logon and at the specific time for dimming.

Good idea: That should serve as an effective reminder to shut down the PC and go to bed, but allow you to restart at usable brightness, if needed.
